A good machine with nice spec, smile.gif

If you have time, please do some pics with whole laptop in it and power on, no need too big the pic.

I would like to have a look at the screen and get a general feel.

Thanks.

The screen looks very nice to me. Very bright and nice colour.

I read some very good comment about the killer wifi card 1103.

Mind to share your experience.

Are you doing a lot of "write" function? If not SSD is not worth for you. You can consider 500gb hybrid drive instead.

Run Atto benchmark. We can see how it scales with different transfer file size.
