I am looking at a Toshiba laptop which is on sale for $700 for my 13 year old. He plays games like Civ5 and such. This computer has an i7-3530QM processor with turbo boost 2.0. It has 12GB ram and 1TB hard drive. The link for the page http://www.staples.com/Toshiba-S55-A5295-156-Laptop/product_49556 since I am unsure of what other specs would be important. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am a bit out of my league here.
