    So, I bought this laptop a nudge over 6 months ago in search of respectable performance. Mine comes with the Nvidia GT 730M and an Intel Core i-7 3622QM.
    I liked the it's gaming capabilities, very much, but ... It had to have a downside, which turned out to be, annoyingly, that it sucks in loads of dust that recently the fan started getting louder and louder. And recently, it started to heat up and started affecting the performance. Games that it could run fluently when new, now start to get some very frequent lag with.
    So now I have to have it cleaned, but as I saw around the internet, this laptop is very hard top open up and get to the fan.
    Any tips ?

    did u try to use air spray can, just blow both vents but keep in mind to restrict fan movement during air blowing to avoid damaging it.
