Gigabyte Q-Series Q1542N 15.6" Notebook Computer

Looking at buying this PC.

Please advise build quality, if you have purchased it or know about it.

Seems like the cheapest laptop with GT640M in it and decent 3rd gen Intel

Any advice?

CPU: i5 3210M (i7 3610QM - quad core - is R1000 more expensive - is it worth it?)
GPU: GT 640M 2GB VRAM
RAM: 4GB
HDD: 750GB
SCREEN: 15.6" 1366 x 768
WEIGHT: 2.6 Kg
OS: WIN 7 64 Pro

Good build quality and 2 year warranty. Perhaps go for the i7 quad version, around R800 more.
 
I worked on one 3 days ago and it turned out to have a BIOS problem, but overall the build quality of them is pretty good.
 
Bought two both screens died after 6 months apparently the connections come loose on the graphics cards, they were both repaired quickly they weren't the same model as your's but the company we bought them through said he has a few come back with the same problem.
