This is mainly for work. Also will be used for movies and light gaming
Initially I was thinking about optimus or a vortex machine but the lack of IPS screen means this is the only viable choice (notebook with integrated graphics just wont do)
I would like to have two HDDs (or SSD and HDD) yet there is only space for one. I am thinking of putting a HDD and then also installing mSATA SSD(as a primary drive for the OS), however the configurator on a website does not list any mSATA drives (it just says mSATA : none). I suspect it might be unavailable or maybe used by wireless module. Will have to email pcs for that.
Is there any advantage to dead pixel guarentee? I mean if the machine arrives with dead pixels then that must fall under warranty, otherwise pixels just dont "die" unless the screen gets damaged.
