Proof
The better configurations can cost a lot
While the keyboard could be bigger and the touchpad has a floaty feel
The Broadcom WLAN card is currently a broken mess
There are occasional issues like BSODs or disappearing wireless cards that hurt reliability

And it's expensive
Doesn't come cheap
Modest connectivity
Battery falls short of expectations
Noisy and hot at load
Faster 15in gaming notebooks are available
Merely decent everyday performance
No builtin wired networking.
Camera at bottom of screen
Making angle odd
Keyboard feels a little flimsy for such a high spec machine
Battery life, Speakers, Keyboard, 960M not futureproof
