Q: The processor is fast?

A: Given that it is an i7 it's pretty fast. Compared to other i7s in the same gen it's in the lower middle speed wise but this CPU is mostly about power saving while still maintaining speed. Its not as powerful as the i7-6700HQ which I have seen on some gaming laptops here but it will save energy and still have good speed.

Q: can i get a 2k display

A: The laptop has a 4K display.

Q: Is this keyboard backlit?

A: Based on the product specs, this laptop does not have a backlit keyboard. Thanks!

Q: which is the processor speed?
