If looking for metallic body, look at XPS series from DELL.The all plastic body is smooth and decent looking with enough strength to withstand moderate rough usage.One should not drop the laptop from height or shock loading lest it may get damaged.Display:--------------15.6 inch 1920 x 1080 p resolution,HD LED Backlit Display with True Life offers high quality picture and movie display.There are no dark spots or horizontal / vertical lines anywhere on the screen and the Integrated Intel graphics offer very good display of whatever you like to see on the screen.The screen offers clear visibility from any viewing angle.PERFORMANCE:--------------------------Booting:-----YOU will notice 90% faster booting with this windows 8.1 OS compared to win 7 or XP OS. :)The system gets ready for use in a split second.that is the magic of win 8.0 OS.The Intel core i7 processor at 2.4 GHz clock speed combined with 16 GB RAM gives enough speed and power to accomplish high end tasks like hard core gaming or complicated CAD/CAM design work.the i7 processor delivers very high power into your hands.It is up to you to make use of it for hard tasks you always wanted to do!Touchpad:The multi touch clickpad is bigger in size(roughly 10.5 x 8 cm), with fast response to all gestures. the touchpad gestures can be made on/off in configuration menu.The keyboard:---------------The chiclet keyboard is the one DELL uses on all high end laptops.The keyboard is handy and the keys offer least resistance to typing.There is a number pad which is now a days missing on many laptops.Connectivity:-----------------2 USB 2.0 ports and one USB 3.0 port are enough for high speed connectivity with external card readers, pen drives etc for data transfer.It is also compatible with Bluetooth v4.0 for connecting with Bluetooth enabled devices.This laptop comes with a faster Intel Wi-Fi chip (3160) and Fast Ethernet port.Both are good and better than Gigabit make.Webcam:--------------720p HD Webcam takes decent pictures and it can record 720 p resolution movies.the movies and pictures are decent.Battery life :--------------the 4 cell Li-ion battery offers upto 4-5 hrs backup with normal usage like word PPT etc.if watching movies, it is better to connect the laptop to external AC power supply by supplied AC/DC adapter.Verdict:-----------This is a heavy duty laptop equipped with i7 and 16 GB memory for high end CAD?CAM work or playing high end games.So one need not go for this for doing general purpose work like surfing and word processing.on the other hand if one is into heavy duty engineering design/CAD/CAM or high end gaming this laptop definitely serves the purpose at moderate cost compared to DELL's XPS series laptops.The 2TB hard disk is offers good enough storage to store your favorite movies,photos and the like.while the touch pad is Ok for more convenience you may opt for an external mouse ; now a days every one is using with laptop.:)Though it comes with win 8.1,You can install win 7 or Win 10 i fyou are inclined so, and it runs smoothly.There are no hang ups.Major plus point is longer battery life :upto 4-5 hours with normal usage with word, ppt etc. and faster booting with win 8.1 OS.DELL is replacing HP and Lenovo with its fast service after sales and easy availability of spares.Comes with 1 year on site warranty.[...]

  I changed from Mac book pro 2011 edition to this laptop.It has all the requirements that I need and in half the price compared to apple. It has a full HD anti glare display which makes watching movies a joy. Any game which you want to play is compitable.For work purposes the laptop is really light and also windows 10 provides you a lot of apps to keep you up to date. If you go to look into it the true colour display from dell is awesome. 16 gb ddr3 ram and 3ghz processor makes this laptop a joy ride and on top there is 2tb hard disk. Even if you want to put ssd hard drive you can do it by removing the DVD slot. I have been using it for sometime now and it's an absolute joy. Even the battery back up is really cool with the 4 cell battery. This piece of brilliance will give competition to the best in the market till it takes its place.
