    Seems like a pretty decent deal considering the specs - it competes with the Dell Inspiron 7000 (7559) but has a much better screen (apparently the LG IPS panel used on many good 15" notebooks, as opposed to the crummy BOE on the Inspiron).

    $1349 CAD ( $1000 USD)

    *Core i7-6700HQ
    *GTX 960M 4GB
    *12GB DDR4 2133MHz RAM
    *Intel 8260 Wireless AC
    *128GB SSD
    *1TB HDD (5400rpm)
    *Windows 10 64-bit
    *External Blu-ray drive

    Weight: 5.72lbs/2.6kgs

    Overall not a bad deal, considering the closest Inspiron spec-wise has less RAM, no SSD (just a hybrid SSHD), substantially inferior display panel, inferior wifi card and no external Blu-ray drive.

    Also, they're waiving any and all restocking fees for items purchased between November 5th and December 25th. So a no-questions-asked return policy like Dell.
