This Laptop has a massive memory (RAM) and massive hard drive though it is running an Intel I7 processor its still not fast enough or it is not able to unleash the full potential of its powerful because its using a Ordinary Hard drive. it still caries the basic processes like word editing or playing basic games or surfing the internet. it was on sale when I got this. still decent compared to the price I paid for it. if you really want a fast computer that is able to perform heavy tasks I would recommend the XPS since it has the solid state memory and it runs Nividia video card.
