Where's the SSD? At this price level I would expect at least a hybrid drive if not a large SSD, not HDD technology that was invented in 1954. The rest of the hardware is decent, so why did they cheap out in the storage department? Not to mention that HDDs are the #1 cause of laptop failure due to the constant bumps and shocks of mobile duty. If I paid almost 3 grand, and had to depend on it for my livelihood, I think I'd want a 1 TB Samsung 840 Evo or at least a 500.
