Yeh, specswise it's looking great. There are 4 different versions I can choose from, all with a good graphics card with GTX 870M, which is a step up from the one I've been looking at.
Could do the one with 1TB harddrive and 16GB ram, but concidering going with a model with 12 GB RAM, but that has an SSD at 256 GB. Not sure if I need the 16 GB (although, it doesn't hurt to have to much), and a nice and fast SSD could be nice to have.

God any suggestion? Thx! Hey Sim Sim, macs are fine but not ideal for gaming, they tend to have heat issues. I recommend getting a laptop with a great Graphics card (the new 965m would be ideal, but I dont think any laptop with it is released yet) and an i7 at about 2.4~ ghz of the latest generation. Cheap out on ram, harddrive. You're technically ok, so youre better off choosing your own. Buy some fast sticks to get 8gb (or 16gb if you're that kind of guy) of ram and an SSD of either 500gb or 1tb (anything less and you'll regret - if you dont want to (Want to be allies? Sometimes I like to pretend I am a princess riding a pony..) around with external disks, get 1tb) Don't get an 870m based laptop, the 900 series is much more powerful, rather wait for the ideal 900 one! Also, you could just buy a fish and stick a keyboard into that.
