I want to get a new laptop to replace my Thinkpad edge. So far this laptop is winning. I like the 1920x1080 resolution and decent graphics card. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AVYPPW8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER#productDetails

Does it look like a decent buy for the price, or is there anything out there better?

The specs are pretty good. Decent price, especially for an i7 processor. 4 stars is great, but not many reviews yet. Perhaps you should look for more reviews of this particular model someplace else?

I'm looking at these two now

Overall I like the Toshiba better. It's aesthetics and size and also better specs for the same price but it's got worse reviews.

I've always been a fan of macs. I currently have a macbook which I bought used for 600€.

Do you really need the discete VGA in there, unless you will hardcore game. The: NVIDIA GeForce GT 730M. If you can get a model without this, it will be cheaper.
