    It's an import from Poland by the looks of things and parts lowered to fit into the region price wise. Ram is upgrade, I suggest you look for reviews of the specific model as a different panel could be used.

    The dual core should not impact gaming so look up reviews of the 860m and see if that performance meets your needs.
