Good all round specs only weighed down by 8gb of soldered (non upgradable as its a slim 13') ram which doesnt really pair well with such a powerful cpu me thinks. Like the cpu is obviously capable of much more multitasking than the ram will be able to handle. Cant ask for everything at the 900$ mark.
