This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This is the best laptop to crank out some Sim City 2000 or Sim Tower on. Also had fun with Warcraft Orcs and Humans and the sequel Warcraft II. Just unbelievable performance and the biggest hard drive of this era!!!
