Is this a good Lap Top?

[nickpc15]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a new lap top:
ASUS Transformer Book Flip TP550LD 15.6" Touchscreen Laptop (Intel Core i7-4500U/ 1TB HDD/ 8GB RAM)

Mostly using it for Corel Draw, some 2d animation and the odd Starcraft II and Streetfighter IV... and maybe the ability to handle new PC games at low res.

Here are the specs from Best Buy.

Is the processor any good? I understand it clocks at 1.8ghz but can turbo to 3ghz. Does that depreciate and is it something that I can manually toggle?

Thanks!

That laptop would be good for some 2d animation and SCII, you might be able to run new PC games at low specs, but besides that, yea it's pretty good.

Thanks TF.

I guess I can't control the processor speed manually?

You can, but on a laptop it really isn't recommended.
