    Hey guys!
    I just bought my first laptop ever! I am very excited for it's arrival but I had a question.
    Is there anything about the G50vt-x1 that I should be aware of? Common defects problems? Since I am buying it refurbished I was told I should stress test it etc... Would someone be able to tell me what types of tests I should do (dead pixels, cpu, gpu etc...) and with what programs?

    Thank you!!! :)

    EDIT: Kept searching and found all the info I needed! :D

    Thanks

    Yes, stress test it with COD4 & L4D hours of play.
    Also lots of data crunching and video.
