I also don't want an extended battery life, two - two and a half hours would do it, in the name of the other specifications
Now, the real reason IMO you won't have that laptop soon : people will run any random win32 application, see that the icons and stuff are unreadable and they will complain, return the unit or give angry support calls.
High PPI laptops do exist, but they are Google Chrome and Apple laptops. The first one only runs one app (which in turn runs web apps), and the other one works because Apple has no qualms about dropping compatibility and forcing people to upgrade. Even OSX PPC-only apps won't run, whereas Windows runs 18-year-old software just fine and people rant like mad if something doesn't work anymore.
My wife got issued a 3K 14inch Windows laptop (Fujitsu lifebook) from work and everything she uses seems to work great. She has had zero complaints so far.
I think you're wrong. The primary target for 17+" laptops are gamers and there is no mobile chipset that is going to push a 4k panel at native resolution at reasonable framerates and gamers buy laptops that can game at reasonable framerates at native resolution.
Specs doesn't state battery life
Looks like a solid gaming machine. Intel CPU would be better, and I also don't see an SSD in there, but the GPU is very strong.
What is the asking price?
900 EUR.
Go for it...
as long as the LCD panel isn't TN

Buy one of these for myself? Hell, no! This one's good for you, not me. It would be way too big for my needs (I like 13.3 inch size), probably too heavy also, and I generally detest plastic PC laptops running windows as they tend to be creaky with flexing chassis, as well as poorly integrated, hardware and software-wise (may need separate drivers for some pieces of hardware like trackpad, wifi/networking, graphics and so on.)I would be happy to go but would you go for it so easily as you recommend it?
I would be suspicious. TN panels always have flaws in some manner or other, so if possible I'd recommend you'd look at the screen in person, if at all possible. Anyway, maybe you're not (as) demanding as I am and maybe the screen will be fine for your needs. Best of luck with your purchase.Actually, it is exactly a TN panel. But in the review they write only superlatives.
