Very good graphics, problem, I think the graphics card fried. Whenever computer is started, there are vertical lines through the screen, had it analyzed and said it was the card. The battery is shot. Computer will need to be rebooted. Has number pad on it, very convienent. Large display, nice resolution. Loud and clear sound too.

I paid 1800 for it, I know it has a few flaws, I’ll start at 360 , leaving friday afternoon, need it gone by then - 618-670-5782

This model’s video card is NOT upgradable.The lines are a very common problem with the ZD8000 and the Motherboard will need to be replaced as the video is integrated,cheapest one on ebay is $379.
