We're probably getting it before Sunday

Here's one with similar specifications for a bit less.

Although Acer's build quality is a bit low, it's still better than Dell or Toshiba in terms of construction.

This one does have a SSD, and I would get that one if that didn't matter. But my dad is kinda in charge of the decision, and has been a long time Dell fan. He dislikes lenovo, acer, hp, and toshiba/

The only reason we don't have this yet is because my dad is still deciding about what software we need on it, like Office, Adobe stuff, etc. But since our main PC decided this morning that it isn't going to be fast anymore, we're going to get it soon, which was our original plan anyway, since we got a 15% discount coupon that expires like 6:00 in the morning Sunday. We need a new main PC since my mom needs to do work on it, that's the primary reason. I would appreciate gaming, my dad appreciates the value of it. http://www.dell.com/us/p/inspiron-15-7559-laptop/pd?oc=dncwpw5724s&model_id=inspiron-15-7559-laptop

High spec laptops are often overpriced, but this one doesn't look overly bad for what you're getting. The processor and SSHD/SSD combo are decent, however I wouldn't recommend the 4K screen. Firstly, your slightly aged 960M is going to struggle with smooth FPS at that resolution, and your battery will also drain fast. Furthermore, 4K is kinda unnecessary on a screen as small as 15 inches.

Thanks for the tip, and I was going to lower the resolution to FHD when gaming.
