I am in the market for a new laptop, and the following looks pretty good to me. I was wondering what other people think, mainly in terms of price (is it good), and/or equivalent/similar machines which are cheaper or better.

Dell Inspiron 15R for $849
* Processor: 3rd Gen Intel® Core™ i7-3612QM Processor (6MB cache, up to 3.1 GHz)
* Display: 15.6" HD WLED True-Life (1366x768)

      Note that the Inspiron 15R Special Edition is a different model to the Inspiron 15R you're looking at.

      Given that 3rd Gen CPUs have only recently been released, then $849 is good value for an i7 with 8GB RAM and 1GB video card. You can save another 4% by using the coupon below:
