What are you guys' impressions of the laptop? I was thinking of picking it up myself.
It's a pretty nice little rig depending on what you want to do with it. I use mine for light gaming, notes, work/video editing (think CS6/Final Cut) and whatever music stuff I'm working on, and it does the job. That said, with the recent lean towards current gen I've found it struggles to keep up. Stuff like Watch_Dogs and ACIV simply won't run at a playable framerate if you also want 1080p and low/medium settings.
Most recently I've been trying to play Grid: Autosport on it, and while it's definitely serviceable I can't really get even a solid 50 out of it on high/1080p, Even on slightly lower settings it tends to chug whenever there's a collision. TL;DR, it's a great laptop but don't expect to play any new releases, especially after this fall.
