I absolutely love this laptop's design. It's the right size for travel, it's thin and has a great color scheme. Unfortunately I wouldn't pay more than $300 for any machine that relies on an Intel HD graphics chip. Intel has a very long history of discontinuing driver support for it's graphics chips the moment that chip's successor is released. In my mind it potentially renders this machine little more than an expensive netbook in under a year. You'll never know if that new game that just came out will run correctly on the laptop and with Intel's driver history you're unlikely to see an update to improve compatibility the way you do with nVidia or AMD graphics. I personally hope Razer releases a similar laptop based on an AMD APU. Then they'll have my money.
