This Workstation was probably the one of the most powerful Workstations when manufactured in late 2019 or early 202O. The i5-9400H processor was intended to be less fast than the i7 processors available for this machine, but surprise, surprise, testing has shown it surpasses the i7s that year.

If you go to Ebay to see what other folks are asking for this laptop, you will see a 7740 with 32 GB Ram, the same CPU and a 256 GB drive for $429.99. Another with a 256 GB drive for $299.99.
