I have no idea how good that is, but the processor looks good... I think.
But welcome back, how did it go with the car?

Could have gotten quite a lot better for the money but that still isn't bad.

Use this site: http://www.notebookcheck.net/ (http://www.notebookcheck.net/) - I use it for graphic card reviews and shit like processers.

You could build something quite a lot better then that for the money.
As for laptops I can't be bothered looking, but I'm positive you could find one a lot cheaper.

That's weird... My dad won one of those in a raffle at an NYPD Captains Endownment Association meeting. I never really took too much interest in it.

apparently the shop i took it too just moments b4 the crash accidentally leaked some sort of chemicals on one of the back tires, causing it to slip. i should have a new one in december. im getting either the same one of a 1998 BMW 328is

this is also my laptop for college, so its completely portable. it only ways 5 pounds too :)

I personally really like the look of that laptop but I do wonder what other laptop you get for better money and do kinda question the battery whether it is good or bad I won't know, but one thing I'm sure of is that its better than my shitty i3 laptop which requires a cool pad or it overheard and can only just barely play games, but hell I don't really care....
(I do.)

Got to love them sandy cpu

In my opinion, its much better to build one. My friend managed to build me this one and its REALLY nice and it cost me $600. Its also a desktop so, again, it runs well.
