An SSD will not help gaming aside from faster loading times. There's not much you can do with most laptops to improve gaming performance.

Seeing this is every thread almost seems redundant at this point. Don't most people that have Discover cards know about this promotion?

I'll look into the stacking because as I said, I don't really pay attention to anything they do as it's usually subpar. Thanks!

So how will this thing handle HD high bitrate videos? I would assume it would handle it fine.
I'm still leaning towards a 3rd gen i3 for around $400, but no tax makes this one around $100 cheaper....
