Workhorse processor: The P8700 is one of Intel's Core 2 Duo immortals. It can't keep up with the current generation of multi-threaded multi-core monsters, but for anyone with moderate gaming and media editing needs, it will work its tail off and not...

Great graphics, great processor, cool exterior design, runs games smoothly (WoW on ultra, Skyrim on high)
