EDIT: Part 2 now up! youtu.be/Jf9HtF1Swko

Here's a quick (somewhat long) look at a laptop I picked up on Ebay a while ago. This video is many months in the making - I bought the thing back in late August and took it with me on a trip to Michigan to visit family. Since then I've been so busy with my final year of school that I haven't made the time to finish editing it.

I shot this video in a bit of a daze - I'd hardly slept the previous night, had just come off eight hours of work and a serious caffeine high.

Since I was so out of it I barely went over some of the hardware features of this machine. Here's some of the important stuff:
CPU: Intel i7-3840QM Ivy Bridge @ 2.80GHz
GPU: Intel HD 4000 + 2GB (DDR3) NVIDIA Quadro K2000M
RAM: 16GB DDR3
STORAGE: ~500GB Seagate mechanical hard drive
I/O: 2xUSB3, 2xUSB2, 1x1394, mic in, audio out, SD card reader, Smart Card reader, VGA, Gig ethernet, eSATA, HDMI, DP
DISPLAY: 1920x1080 IPS

I could potentially do another video of this machine. I ended up splashing some water on the computer while I was in Michigan so I ended up opening it (bless Dell's repair documentation) to ensure that nothing vital had been compromised, so there's some footage of that as well.
