	Purchase Price: £821.00 Summary Firstly, the chassis is very sturdy and the laptop is surprisingly light. The screen is also fantastic, picture is brilliant. Steam chat windows and the like are a little hard to read though because of the high resolution, can anyone suggest anything for this? ...all in all, very pleased. The cooling system is also fantastic, the GPU was the hottest component after an hour of metro at 64C (Speedfan). I am using the laptop on a tray with a Zalman cooler which is no doubt helping it.

	Purchase Price: £953.00 Summary The build quality of the chassis is pretty robust and has a nice and stiff hinge on the display which is nice (compared to my past few laptops). The first thing I did when i got on was to see what windows wanted to rate my laptop as, which i was fairly impressed with which was: Processor: 7.4 Memory (RAM): 7.6 Graphics: 6.8 Gaming Graphics: 6.8 Primary Hard Disk: 5.9 I'd like to thank everyone at PCS for my brand new lappy and everyone in the forums for putting up with my daily updates of how my lappy was doing!
