The reviews for this laptop are really bad, you have been warned. Most complain about the fan noise despite having an efficient AMD CPU. There are major issues with the cooling system of this laptop.

You're saying "non-gaming" like it's a good thing or a feature. All that means is less performance.

It's a "ultraportable" type which is generally never going to overlap with the gaming category as far as I'm aware. It's amazing it plays games as well as it does, the 780m is impressive for an iGPU

How does this compare to the one Micro Center is selling for $800? That one has an i7.

OLED screens use less electricity than LCD. They only generate the light they need, instead of blasting white light through a color filter and reabsorbing what it doesn't use

Don't let anyone be fooled by the "non-gaming" part of this comment. The 780M can definitely game! It's not as good as a dedicated gpu, but in many titles it'll give you 60fps+(in some 100fps+!)...

Did that laptop have a dedicated GFX card with an OLED screen @ 120HZ? These premiums unfortunately come with a cost and that's battery life.
