Getting new laptop

[Jack]

Im starting college in less than 2 weeks. When I get there I get to pick up this bad boy:

 

 

Lenovo ThinkPad W540

 

Intel Core i7 4700QM,

15.6" FHD 1920X1080 display,

8 GB DDR3 on 1 DIMM,

nVidia Quadro K1100 2GB RAM Graphics Card,

500 GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive

 

Thoughts?

 

EDIT: Oh and the best part: Windows 7

Get a SSD

Last time I had a Lenovo it lasted a little less than a year and a half.

I was either going to get a lenovo thinkpad or alienware, I chose alienware because the lights are nicer.

not bad, could do with some minor improvements.

Nice laptop, how much did it cost?

Question: Is it for gaming?

Quadro? Do you graphicy/video'y stuff?

 

Needs an SSD though + I hope it has a IPS display.

What are you looking to use your laptop for? I could recommend a good gaming laptop. This laptop is pretty good all around.

 

I would definitely recommend getting a SSD. It's safer, more reliable and a good backup.

The you have more than enough in this laptop 

 

If you want to save some cash I can probably recommend a better laptop that still meets you're needs.
