Pretty f'ing nice. HD IPS display? They're trying to compete with Dell's Alienware and doing it at a nice price. Only 6lbs too. Needs Blu-Ray drive though. Boo Windows 8.

Have a LAN party on a plane. Record broken.

Disagree. Unnecessary bloat and would only add to size/dimensions and weight. I haven't touched physical media in years and I suspect I'm not alone.

Windows 8 is fine with a start menu replacement like StartIsBack.

Highest LAN party? Are they kidding? There is no way they could possibly hold a candle to how high some of the people were at LAN parties in the 90s... Woops...
