Customer Review

- Stunning
Best computer I have used, the screen is the best I have seen, the case is good and hard wearing. The performance is stunning, I can do my work faster now, I bought this as a CAD machine and it runs CAD programs flawlessly. Only thing is, its very heavy. But who cares when you have something like this.
