Is this laptop any good?

sounds good... but a bit expensive... i would not pay over 500 for that... unless is a xps... try lenovo idea pad... http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:category.details?current-catalog-id=12F0696583E04D86B9B79B0FEC01C087¤t-category-id=ED26332647C64CF9940904A568CE7DC8
