A:Answer The other guy is confused. This *IS* a gaming laptop. The CPU is plenty for now. There is only one CPU faster. Keep in mind that 2.7 GHz is the base clock and turbo boost will likely be more like 3.2-3.3 GHz in gaming, with a max boost of 3.5 GHz.
Unless you are willing to spend another grand more on a laptop, this is about the best you can get.
