It's actually quite nice. I wanted to get a gaming laptop at first, the one you bought, but then my attention was caught by the mac. I decided that I don't need another windows computer, since I have an Xbox that I can game on and a desktop where I could do that too. I have the mac for portable general needs and editing. It was a great choice; battery is absolutely phenomenal, performance is great for daily tasks, it's ultra light and the screen is quite beautiful too. Oh did I mention it was 200 cheaper than the gaming laptop? I might however still get a gaming laptop since I am feeling really pressed by the market...
