Thought I would give my impression of my new christmas present to myself! GOOD Compared to my inspiron e1705 this thing is light! Screen is just short of perfection imo Camera is sharp Although Dell says 8GB ram is max its running fine with 16GB! I thought I wouldn't like the space between the keys but its not quite so bad now that I have gotten accustomed to it everything upgrade-able is in a section under a single cover ram, msata,wifi,hdd The GPU is phenomenal! I am running Far Cry 3, Assassins Creed 3, Hitman absolution, Borderlands 2, Skyrim and WoW at MAX settings without any issues except with hitman in crowded areas NOT SO GOOD Laptop gets hot when gaming which is understandable however the heat build up is felt right under your left hand when it is placed over wasd keys. I wish there were hardware switches for volume\mute and wi fi on\off No gigabit network Everything plugs in on the side instead of the back but that may be just a preference It feels poorly made...if you grab the computer with one hand at the corner of the palmrest with the lid open you will feel the plastic pieces pop out of the seams...nothing deal breaking but my e1705 was solid hardware raid would have been cool as well J
