With Windows there is no problem, but this is not included. Since I'm a student of Windows licenses is free but have been a problem!
A note to the rest of Review: I have additional memory directly upon receipt to 8GB. Therefore, based on my experience a slightly better version is sold as here. Installed is a 4GB Bars: This makes the upgrade to 8GB very simple.
I would like to highlight positively, especially the battery life, which is up to 6 hours. With active use of course reduced, but 3-4 hours I have always got there.
By connecting the laptop to the power supply, you realize what a beast you have bought yourself.
The i7 is an absolute dream and is even reproduce liquid 4600 popular games will be able with the help of the on-board Intel HD Graphics. If the graphics performance but not enough times, the AMD Radeon HD 8750M switched on. Of course it is not high-end graphics card and Crysis on Ultra is probably not possible (Caution: Do not tested) but the test with DOTA, Diablo 3 and GTR Evolution I have noticed no stuttering or anything. An absolute dream!
The built-in 1TB SSHD boots almost as fast as an SSD and also fulfills its purpose otherwise. Again: nothing to complain about.
The 4GB of RAM are indeed potentially for ordinary petrol sufficient but as I like to have a "few" more Chrome tabs on the way and let run several other programs I have allowed myself the upgrade to 8GB. Cost not much ;-)
I have searched long and hard, and this laptop has what I would like an absolute top price!
Yet I give due to the problems with Linux only 4 stars, it eventually may well not every Windows.
