The only reason I am selling this laptop is because I just finished up building a gaming desktop. This laptop has served me extremely well over the last few months for not only school but for gaming. I have gamed hardcore on this thing and the performance is outstanding for a laptop. I've connected it to two external monitors for a total of 3 displays and it's worked flawlessly. I've added an extra HDD because I wanted extra space for video editing and I will include that with the laptop, as well. Both the mouse and the keyboard are very responsive so navigating and typing long essays has been easy. It plays Blue Rays and can burn disks, has a beautiful HD display, and is a very good PC in general. I you have any questions about the laptop, feel free to shoot me an email. I'll try to respond ASAP. It's available for pickup on Stanford's campus.
