I bought this coz I was going to Germany and wanted to buy a latest config machine. With high performance mode, 3.0 GHz is achieved. 8GB RAM is a lot. HD is also more than enough. Nvidia Graphics 2.0GB 560 is awesome for high graphic gaes like FIFA 14. Playstaion 2 emulator was also working like a charm. I could not find any negative side. I have been using since 1.5 year.
