This is a great machine at a real 'value for money' price. I configured an Enigma III 520 for my wife in September and was so impressed by it that choosing another Enigma model was a no brainer for me. It's performance is everything that I expected and after decades with ThinkPads I am very confident that it will not let me down. Given the level of interest in gaming demonstrated on this Forum, please note that my comments are restricted solely to professional computing and do not reflect any experience with recreational software. Not even Reversi or Minesweeper!
Seriously, if you are looking for an extremely high performance business laptop that will cope with very demanding databases (eg Oracle client), mathematical modelling (Intel Visual Fortran, GenStat and SAS) and CAD-CAM (AutoCAD) then this model is a real bargain.
Yodel lived up to their reputation but I noticed that PCS have now switched to using DPD so perhaps deliveries will improve.
