Any tech gurus have advice on this laptop I may purchase this evening?

Is this just for personal use? If so, this will be more then enough. Great specs

Yea it's good...if you want to look at something else you can look at the Lenovo Yoga line....it will be a little more but the hinges are better and I think it will be easier to use in tablet mode.

Yes, personal use.

I have always had dedicated video cards in every PC I've owned.

Are the Intel integrated Graphics acceptable?

It's not for gaming, but I will plug the HDMI into the entertainment system on occasion for streaming video ex. LSU games when blacked out

I looked at the Yoga and I really like Lenovo, but the same spec'd yoga is a good $350 more and is only a 13.9" display.

At 51, I really need the larger 15.6 display of the Dell
