I have a G70 (Pretty much same specs except for the ram) and it works just fine. Like Cyberdemon here, I don’t like windows 8.1 or the touch pad, but other than that it’s been working pretty well for the last 6 months. I recommend it but I don’t know yet how it’ll age, hopefully as good as my former laptop. It was an Acer with 6+ years of heavy duty on him, died doing a simulation in SW.
