There is no substitute for power and you now have it in spades...any thing you run will look and respond incredibly. :-)

Jim,

This laptop was purchased in February and as I said, Belarc reports 2 cores
and 4 threads. I wonder how the two varieties compare in speed. Not that
I'm complaining. I've never had a computer that even comes close to the
performance of this baby. 8 gigs of RAM + 1 tera of hard disk and USB 3.0,
and it's a laptop! Besides that, I got a great deal -- $550.
