Overall - a good laptop for creative professionals

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 March 2016

Verified Purchase

Overall, the laptop is fast - when you want to use it for web browsing, checking emails or daily office work. Initially, it would not work with Adobe software - even though NVIDIA card drivers were updated and all settings correct (the system kept freezing during work and saving, and I had to keep restarting the laptop, losing time and precious work data.) Eventually, I had to reinstall the system and software - and finally got the laptop to work. It now works very well and it is fast. The fan is quite noisy, but this does not bother me greatly. US keyboard - I use a graphic tablet and a cordless keyboard, so no problem at all!
I do recommend this laptop for graphic designers and illustrators, but if you should have any issues caused by Adobe software - you may need to reinstall the software and all drivers again.

A solid gaming machine but not without its flaws

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 December 2016

Verified Purchase

First off, a slight gripe - I didn't realise (but should have, as it was stated in the description) that this was a US English keyboard. I won't hold that against the buyer; similarly I had to do some tweaking of the language settings to get Cortana working.

The RGB backlit keyboard is a nice touch, though it doesn't give you complete freedom to define areas of colour; instead, the keyboard is divided into three sectors, each of which can be given a custom RGB value. As far as I can tell it also always starts red when booting up, and doesn't adopt the custom colour until the software loads, which is slightly disappointing. In general the keys and touchpad (which features a slightly texturised surface) feel good; I was concerned by the fact that the space bar tended to squeak, but this worked itself out after about a week.

The provided copy of Windows 10 seems a little quirky - it initially refused to open the Users settings, presenting instead the 'grey screen of annoyance', and Edge (which I had no intention of using, but still) crashed repeatedly and seemed incapable of opening PDFs. It also didn't seem to want to update. My problems were compounded when I attempted to change to a Live account to see if that would fix the issue; it didn't, and now prevented me from changing back, requiring an extra account to be patched in via the Powershell. Eventually I updated manually to the Anniversary Edition, which fixed all the issues I had with it.

In terms of gaming, the Apache Pro seems comfortable with highest settings in the games I wanted it for - Bioshock Remastered, The Witness, and the Arkham Asylum series (admittedly not the most demanding). The build does seem less than stable when multitasking - having Word or Firefox open in the background while playing a graphics-intensive game appears to lead to frequent freezes; extremely frustrating until I figured out the cause, and not something that happened with (to cite my previous frame of reference) an HP Pavilion.

The display looks great and comes with MSI TrueColor pre-installed, though this isn't, as far as I can tell, necessary; as with SteelSeries it only adopts the specified colour profile after booting up, which can lead to a jarring change in colour after Windows has loaded.

The Apache Pro has a USB-C port, two USB 3.0 ports, a USB 2.0 port, an HDMI port, a headphone and mic jack, a MiniDisplay and LAN port, a fairly basic card reader, and an optical drive. The optical drive feels rather flimsy and would almost certainly snap off with any significant accidental downwards pressure - the impression I get was that this is was an afterthought, which for a PC gaming machine isn't great.

Battery power seems acceptable - just as a note the battery management software means that while the Apache Pro is active it allows the battery to discharge to 90% to avoid damage and will read 'not charging'; I Googled around to see if there was an issue with my battery but this appears to be standard practice for gaming laptops.

Overall the Apache Pro seems to be a very acceptable mobile gaming machine for the price, but not without some flaws.

Amazing.

This is just an insane laptop. Bought it after starting my new job and what can I say. Absolutely everything I have thrown at it, it just takes it on with no problems apart from bricks and milk and stuff like that, don't throw that at it. But games wise it doesn't complain, GTA 5 with enb mods, graphics enhancements and 4k texture upgrades a steady 55 fps, it runs on ultra with no issues. Dying light, ultra with no issues, fallout 4 ultra no issues. The quality is amazing and the laptop feels solid. Temperatures can climb to high 70-80°c so a laptop cooler is beneficial, it also has a cooler built in which you can turn on and off. Overall really impressed with it and would recommend =)

Terrible

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 December 2017

A little history on my horrible experience with this product so far:

A year into owning this laptop (just after warranty - surprise surprise!), things started to go wrong.

First, the bearing on the CPU fan shot, which caused a horrible rattling noise when turned on. Looking online, this is a very common problem, which for a £1200 laptop is a bit of a pisstake. But fine, I ordered a new one and replaced it myself (for £30).

Then the touch pad started to go. Updated all drivers and made sure everything was up to date but problem is still there. It is almost as if there is a level sensor on it, so that if I turn the laptop from a horizontal position, it goes totally apesh!t and the cursor moves all over the monitor, as well as clicking on anything at random. Problem is resolved if I put the laptop to sleep and restart, but this is incredibly annoying.

Then the keyboard started to go (which again appears to be a common issue). I have no water damage, or physical damage of any kind. The keys l, p, o, 1, h and other special characters are totally unresponsive. Others have started going too.

A faint blue line is also visible on my monitor on the left hand side. Oh, and the SD card reader randomly ejects mid-transfer.

All this for a £1200 laptop...

A very impressive laptop worth the asking price!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 December 2015

A really powerful laptop, great for editing, watching videos and especially gaming. Really impressed with the performance this hardware can pull off.
The design is solid and I love the keyboard, the keys feel great and the lighting isn't too distracting. The screen is 1080p, and the colors and contrast is perfect for me. This is matched by great hardware that will allow you to play games in 1080p with 60 fps, with the games I've tested so far doing this at max-high settings, which is very impressive for my first gaming laptop.
The only issue is the fan noise, which isn't so much of an issue for me so it hasn't negatively affected the score. It can a bit too noisy when you're playing games. I recommend getting a laptop cooler stand, many of which are available on amazon, to keep it a little bit cooler and less noisy, though I'd look for other laptops if fan noise is going to be an issue for you.

If you are a serious gamer (dota 2/ cs go/.) that is permantly on the go, and needs also to play new games on high presets, this is the machine you need!!! Good price and it come by one of the best sellers for laptops. Recommended to buy with coolmaster laptop cooler as it is getting a bit warm on high settings and 7+ hours gaming.
