The laptop retails for around £1300 to £1700 which given the features is a fair price to pay. Battery life is superb and so is overall performance. The only problem with this model is cooling that CPU. Although i personally haven't experienced any crashes due to overheating it could be a potential problem. I am a fairly heavy user having graphic editing and development programs open at the same time, but this machine takes on them with no problems whatsoever.
