For under $800 you get a GTX960M, 7 hrs battery life (normal desktop use).

Damn it. Now I want to buy this thing. I got an extra 50 off with coupon "50off699" and you get 5% in rewards back for a future purchase.

Yeah, if I was in the market for a laptop I'd consider it. I don't game often on the road, but it's nice to be able to play something other than casual games.

Just got one a week ago. Added a 1TB SSD and boosted it to 16GB RAM (for some reason you can't upgrade from 8 when ordering). I added the 4k screen too.

It can handle Arkham Knight @ 1080. Running it at 4k is like watching it in slow motion (but it looks amazing).

My one gripe is that the M.2 slot can't handle PCIe SSDs (had to return the Samsung I had ordered). It can handle SATA M.2 drives.

So which SSD is in there?
Odd they wouldn't let you upgrade the RAM if it could take it.

It comes with a hybrid drive not an SSD.

I found it unusual as well about not offering 16GB RAM.
