Not a bad rig at all, sometimes a refurbished item can be a great piece.

yea runs great having a couple hang ups with ts12 but then again i have everything set to max. Star Trek Online and World of Tanks both look great on it. Here's a few screens i took from the builtin N&W coal route. Figured that would be a nice challenge.

(highlighted) Are you sure you not forgetting a number after the "i", such as 3, 5 or 7?

HDD - 1TB (1 390 and one 480)

But that's only 870GB.

17.3" HD backilt screen[

That's a laptop?? At that size, wouldn't it be heavy?

Intel i7, a 15 sec google search.
HDD, I'm guessing that's what's empty.
Heavy, with a name like Vonhammer, doubtful.

I have a 17" Gateway laptop, NV78, and I'm quite pleased with it. Yes, it's not tablet light, but nothing a sturdy backpack can't handle!

And yes it is the i7, and yes it is heavy at 9lbs and its a beast of a machine. I'm going to school for architecture so not only do the specs meet those needs but also makes it great for gaming.
