I have this with the 5th gen core i7 and the QHD screen. It is an absolutely great machine, Comparable MacBook was going to be something like RS 47000 more, so just not worth it to me. The QHD screen causes the battery life to suffer a bit though(I get about 7-7.5 hours) and some programs are not optimized for it so you get tiny little controls in the menus, etc. I would go with the 1080p screen. Also, you can turn off the annoying always on light behind the backlight key using a bios setting. Lastly, if you set your fan to passive under advanced power options it will knock off some of the fan annoyance some have complained about. Trackpad works great. Flip screen works great. Very nice keyboard. Love the way HP does their function keys(access to volume and other functions is primary, function F1, etc. are invoked with the Fn key). Mine friend also has one and he also loves it.
