I wasnt really looking for anything to over the top because I pretty much surf the web, utorrents, etc. I dont do computer gaming. I just wanted something bigger than 4GB Ram for speed and the 1TB harddrive has plenty of storage. I can expand the 6GB to 8GB if need be. I’m in a few IT classes and didnt want Windows 8 because alot of programs i need for school like a VMware and Ubuntu Linux, DR. Java etc are not available for Windows 8 yet
