    I don't think the review can even contain how amazing this laptop, the build and screen quality are.

    Everything was great but I wish they would come clear about which one of the screens to pick. I almost feel as if you (The User) will be using it primary for gaming you should go with the matte screen even with the 8gb of ram due to the scaling issues and just the easier overall screen to work with.

    However if you are going to be in the windows environment running other applications outside of gaming but just want to have the power to game occasionally , you should just go with the high res touch screen.

    The ONLY thing I would change on mine is wishing it had 16GB RAM, but in normal use I never really top 70% use on the 8 I have to really it would just be for extra future proofing.

    On 2nd thought a 2nd M.2 slot would have been nice too.

    If 1TB SATA 2280 m.2 drives start appearing en masse I'll forgive that.

    Even still I have yet to dip below 80G free, it's usually well above 100G, and even then I have a quite a few games installed that I rarely touch that I should uninstall

    I don't think I can fathom how expensive those would be.. I think I'm going to buy a 512gb SSD soon, but damn would a 1tb drive be awesome. Personally on a 256 I'm struggling to keep 10-30gb space free, while only keeping games I've played within the last 6 months. Work programs actually probably take up a lot of the space (I'd guess 60-70%), not even including scratch disk space for the adobe programs.

    If intel does release up to the 5tb by the end of the year, i can imagine the price of SSD going down a lot. so a 1TB hopefully will be within the 100 pounds (150 dollars) range. the 5TB i am expecting at around 500pounds (700 dollars).
