This is a great price for the specs. It's a kinda gaming hybrid - it's not going to play the newest games on max 1080p but it will play most at 720p on high or max. It will lightning quick for normal applications and loading Windows etc. I think this would be superb for students.

Those i5u processors are not lightning quick in fact I still have my Dell l502x with a i7 2730qm which IS lightning fast, i upgraded to a Dell XPS 12 with 5th gen i5u and about the same spec as above (aside from dedicated GFX) and it was horrible to use for photo editing or anything demanding. its a real consideration for people looking ofr real power in a portable. i can even feel my MBPr i5 struggle on intensive stuff.

is it capable to run two monitors with gtx 950?

It has an HDMI so it will run a second display, you can even get USB 3.0 display adapters and run more from it. Not for gaming though, it's not going to play games running from multiple monitors well at all.

You don't need a dGPU for that. Even the crap Intel ones will do that.

It's truly mystifying to me that people actually do this. Naturally it's going to be blurry, and those "high" or "max" settings will be washed out along with it once the GPU/display upscales the image. So you're left with the worst of both worlds.
Why not have a 100% crystal clear experience at native res on ~medium settings, the way god intended?

Because this way he can tell his friends he's running games on high / max :smile:

Just to let you know I'm not buying it .... I have an Alienware laptop and a home built PC which is running everything on max. I really don't get why you even felt the need to comment....

Because not everyone can afford to do that. So just to let you know I'm not buying it but my point is valid for students who only occasionally game on the PC or laptop most would have a ps4 or Xbone (which don't play games maxed out either compared to their PC cousins). Maybe that means the console market should be shut down and made redundant..... Again I don't think your comment is helpful for people deciding if they should buy this or not. So I stand by what I said. Also just to let you know I have a desktop for gaming and Alienware laptop which I use for portable gaming occasionally. A couple of years ago people were spending £1000+ for an Alienware 14 with a 720p screen with 4th gen I5 and 750m. This is quicker than that and half the price and most who have a Alienware have them for a good few years before selling them around this sort of price.

Does 'metallic finish' mean plastic?

Yes it does

Also it depends on the game. If it looks nicer on a lower res then do that. If it looks nicer on 1080p on lower settings do that. The main reason of doing it is down to the amount of graphics Memory available if it doesn't have 4gb (which I haven't researched) then typically you have to lower the resolution.
