Pros:

The Digital Storm Krypton offers the latest Intel and Nvidia components, and excellent benchmark performance, for a bit less than other gaming PC brands.
Seems expensive, but it's actually a decent deal in the highest strata of gaming laptops. Great performance, with minimal trouble along the way
Excellent performance. Packs Nvidia's latest mobile graphics card. Generous port selection. High-quality sound with amplification for headphones.

Cons:

You don't get the same level of handholding and personalized tech support as from some other gaming boutiques. The generic offtheshelf body is ugly, no matter the price. No touch or higherres screen options
Not quite on the bleeding edge, but hey, you can always upgrade. One bad drop feels like it will demolish this thing
