I bought this in the sale at the £950 price.
On the assumption it doesn't break (I haven't exactly given it much time to test, I've literally had it exactly half an hour) I feel confident saying this is an amazing piece of kit.
Came with a headset, mouse, laptop backpack and cable ties, it's just.... so great. I may be able to give a more in-depth analysis when I've had it longer but for now I'm jsut going with "so great" since there are no other reviews up.
UPDATE: THe keyboard is really badly designed (no end key, only on the num pad so if you usenumbers and end a lot ha, suck to be you!) the space the end key should be in is an on/off button. THere's literally no reason the keyboard couldn't be laid out better because there is at least an inch of space either side of it so putting the num pad snuggled up right up to the rest of the keyboard, having the right-arrow key overlap what would normally be a lrger 0 button on the num pad and having an on/off switch instead of an end key is just to save this space at the side for the purpose of /making me really really angry/. (I appreciate there may be hardware close to the surface there but I don't care, angry.)
Additionally,t he track pad is EXCELLENt, very responsive and sensitive (but not over sensitive!)... unless you want to click something, then it's crap. The left and right mouse buttons are just pressable areas of the pag, it's all one piece so there's no clear line where the button ends and you can't feel the buttons to find the one you want, you need to look down. Additionally, the trackpad is REALLY indecisive about what's a left click and what's a right click. If you press on the eft button while touching the right button then it registers as a right click (say you're playing a game where left and right me different things and you wanna click each as fast and efficiently as possible so you have one finger on each button and use the other hand to move, realllllly irritating). Maybe they'll fix that bug but I'm not holding my breath. These gripes don't counteract how I love this laptop so much, but it does make me roll my eyes, that more wasn't put into the design of basic features like comfortably inputting information to the laptop, which I will want to do approximately all the time I'm using it. So, yeah, taking a star off for having inputs that seem to have been designed by a child.
