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.
Please don't PM me regarding bans or anything having to do with in-game situations. Only PM me if you've been told I am the only one who can solve your issue.

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.

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.)

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.
