superb power and resolution for £700 (at time of purchase) i would still consider it to be the most power buy at £700 currently (April 2014) i bought it for playing game when i'm away from my desktop, as far as i can see it plays them fine. the 740M graphics chip it has is of the 64 bit variant rather than 128 bit ones that can be gotten but it is still very fast so don't be put off. the one miner gripe i had about it was the windows 8 that was installed, suffice to say that lasted about 3 mins before i said nope and then installed win 7. make sure you change the boot system to legacy from EUFI system that win 8 runs on in the BIOS, if you don't you won't be able to reinstall the OS. oh and 1 other thing, the 1TB HDD was partitioned weird for win 8, it had about 5 different partitions one of them the D drive was over 300 GB large. so be warned that you HDD space is still all there but in a few parts. but don't let these small issues put you off of a great machine
