http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-NP-RC512-S02US-i7-2630QM-BluRay-Notebook/dp/B005ZH4MDY
They're selling a used one for $640, so I think I'm getting an alright deal... although I checked the hard drive and it said the total space was 270 gb. Still, though... pretty great, eh?
Intel® CoreTM i7 Processor 2630QM 6GB memory and 740GB Serial ATA Blu-Ray Rom, DVD±RW/CD-RW drive 15.6 Widescreen LED Backlit WXGA Display (1366 x 768) NVIDIA GeForce GT525M Graphics Chip
Any opinions on whether or not the graphics card could handle games, and what does i7 processor mean?

the graphics are good medium settings but better the ps360
the i7 typically is fucking fast but it has video converting software hardwired into the circuits so that is fast as well like really fast

Probably stolen, I'd reformat it if I were you.

Pawn shops have some pretty good deals... I had a Compaq cq-57 on layaway previously for $220 with windows 8, 2gb ram, 1.50 ghz processor with integrated graphics card but when I saw this Samsung for only 175$, I had to switch my layaway to the Samsung, just couldn't pass that up. My brother who's pretty good with computers (qwertymkonji) said windows 8 was a resource hog and I thought 2gb ram and 1.50 ghz processor probably wouldn't do so great with windows 8 on it. Now I only owe 136$ before I get the Samsung laptop. Can't wait. One thing I noticed is that there was no wireless card icon in the tray at the bottom. I'd hate to go and have to pay 55$ for a Cisco am2500 (has 2 antennae) I'm just hoping there is a wireless card in it when I finally pay off the layaway. :/

Sounds almost too good to be true, I'd make sure it is in full working order before buying it.
And yeah the graphics are alright, not good enough to play cutting edge games on high settings, but decent nonetheless.
