The Kore was named after thinking of something to symbolize the centralized brain PC on the network.

Originally I bought this laptop for my wife. I was looking for something cheap but was distracted by the $300 off one day sale on this little beast of a laptop.

The laptop is a ZT which is basically a re-branded MSI gaming laptop. The price was $1,000 with $300 off for one day only on Newegg, I had to have it. There are a couple things I don’t like such as how when the laptop is turned off or goes to sleep for some reason the wireless shuts off and then you have to press the wireless button near the power button to turn it back on. There is not way to have it come on automatically when booted into Windows. The battery life is actually very good for a laptop with these specs and gaming performance isn’t bad either.

Lets just into the specs and then a couple shots of the laptop.
