Thoughts on new laptop / desktop

[ham]

I got a Dell XPS17 this week on a ridiculous special offer. Down from £1800 to £720 using a few money-off codes and a UK cashback site.

i7-2670QM processor 2.20 GHz with Turbo Boost up to 3.10 GHz
6GB (1x2GB and 1x4GB) of 1333MHz DDR3 Dual Channel SDRAM
3GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 555M Graphics Card
1TB (7,200rpm) Serial ATA Dual HDD - (2x500GB)
17.3 FHD WLED AG (1920x1080)

annoyingly it also comes with Elements installed, when I bought Elements only 1 month ago

Not used the screen for processing yet, but can tell already that it's going to make a huge difference, pictures which previously looked good now don't, but some that previously looked awful actually look decent. I'm waiting until I get it calibrated before I actually use it in anger, but the colours are delicious.
