OK JJ, nice unit hope you enjoy it, listen my laptop is a Toshiba Satellite that is about 12 years old. just trying to turn you up.

but

Just think you could of had a Eurocom instead.

really a nice unit, enjoy it, the monster above in June 2011 was the top of the line fastest laptop on the market. Don't know if it still holds that title.

I am just jealous

My system matches or beats that in a few areas and cost a fraction of the price you have quoted.
