I fell in love with the S550CA-DS1T model because of the specs for a reasonable price. However, when I saw this laptop and found myself with a bigger budget than I had planned originally, I jumped on it. Intel Core i7 is an amazing CPU and I am so happy that this laptop is equipped with such a big memory and RAM. It is entirely necessary for my photography hobby. Creative Cloud works wonderfully on this laptop. I am a college student and needed to find a laptop that would be from a reliable brand and included the very specs offered by this laptop. I feel that I sacrificed the SSD that was found in the S550CA-DS1T, but in turn received an extra 2 GB of RAM and a newer processor. I had my doubts, but even without the SSD, the boot time is speedy and there is no lag between functions and transitions to other programs using the Windows 8 shortcuts.
It is very fast and extremely fun to use. Windows 8 is exasperating at times because I am still used to Windows 7 and XP, but I am happy that I will be challenged to learn and soon master the new OS.
I have had this laptop for only two days but am already extremely satisfied with its performance, appearance, ease of use, and components. The sound is crisp and unexpectedly loud. I was afraid that I would noticeably trade screen resolution for the touchscreen capability, but media and webpages are very clear and easy to read on the screen which appears to be bigger than 15.6 in. I love the fact that it has an optical drive in case I ever need it. The keyboard was said to be less responsive than most and too crammed, but I find myself typing at my average speed with no extra weight added to the keys. The number pad was a definite sales point for me, but I am sad by the lack of backlit keys. The only other drawback to the keyboard is that the laptop is a bit elevated which makes for an awkward wrist position, but this is not something that a change in posture can't remedy.
My family members, after seeing and witnessing the sheer awesomeness that is this laptop, want to trade theirs in for it. I highly recommend it!
