Got my new machine in one day of shipping and I love it!
The design is great, I've got my numpad back, more real estate with a 15.6" screen (prior one was 14"), and it's got all the ports I need. I do wish that more laptop producers would introduce the axle-style design that Dell has been using to rotate the lid. These ones that work off hinges are guaranteed to break at some point after so many rotations.
As far as how the laptop runs, this thing is beast mode! I can play Battlefield: Bad Company 2 at max settings very smoothly in any situation. I can run Skyrim on high settings also. The dedicated GPU was well worth the $600.
The only thing I didn't like upon first using it was Windows 8. The disconnect between Metro and the desktop is strange and awkward. I'm slowly getting used to it, but I would probably downgrade to Windows 7 if I could afford a legit copy.
