    Yes, HP Pavilion 17t with quad core i7 processors, 16 gb ram touch screen, back-lit keyboard and a butt-load of storage space on two solid state hard drives. Oh, and a custom FHC lid skin.

    Love it! Sounds like a speed demon! The SS drives make a huge difference too.. Love my backlit keyboard as I use my laptop on the couch and it's hard to see.. Enjoy!

    Are you running Windows? Linux can take a while to catch up on drivers on new hardware.. Laptops as you know are more proprietary than a home built PC..
