Really? An enterprise-level workstation with a K2100M, the strongest laptop i7, but only giving 4GB RAM and 500 GB HDD??? Lenovo, are you 420?

As for you, Xin, what do you need this for? It's generally unusual that someone buys a laptop with a Quadro.

Hi okcnaline

Thanks for your reply. I'm thinking about upgrade the RAM and SSD later. Isn't it cheaper if i buy those on other store?
And what you mean by Quadro? I'm not family with the video card K2100M. Is it good or bad? Please advise.

True, this is very cheap for a workstation.

NVIDIA Quadro is the professional graphics card for 3D modeling and video editing. You don't use Quadro for gaming, because they're much weaker GPUs for the price. They offer performance in other areas such as CUDA acceleration. And if you're not familiar with "K2100M", which is a GPU model, then probably you should look for other computers to game on.
