Price estimate over 1900€.

I'd get rather sleek, under 3kg, i7-3610QM platform with GDDR5 650M for under 1300€.
I don't mind the case build quality and fingerprints, as long as the screen is good.

The best thing is that they are sold in different configurations, with few different GPU:s and CPU:s.
That means that (with enough confidence and experience) they can be changed!
An updateable laptop with a good screen, separate buttons on touchpad, loud speakers and decent battery life and mass for a reasonable price.

XMG 502 with HD7970M and i7 3610QM

Great value, battery life and mass - superior components. The shipping won't cost too much.

When was that?
What about SSD:s?

Any idea what caused the burnout at that early stage?

From what we could tell it was a battery fault... We sent a report off to the company so hopefully they've fixed it
