This laptop is over 16 “wide and over 2” thick and has sufficient room for a speakers, a number pad, and a full size keyboard. The trackpad is very useful because it is somewhat sunken into the keyboard and is larger than the space key. The 17 inch monitor has good definition and is blindingly clear and bright. It has a minimum amount of chrome and is finished in all black. The number pad and keyboard have the authoritative feel to them that lets you know that you have hit a key and are styled like a chiclet. The key placement is segregated which reduces the risk little airborne particles such as dust getting stuck in the keys and impeding either the game in progress or typing. There isn’t any flex anywhere in the machine and it is structurally sound. It takes some effort to flex the screen, the computer chassis won’t bend, and the wrist pad is good and stiff. In addition, the hinges on the display don’t permit it to collapse onto the body.
