Appears to be a gaming laptop of some sort. My guess is a very expensive Dell as they still use the low end 10/100 ethernet even in some of their more expensive systems.
You have GT 650M

Game Booster
used to be freeware and I think now is trialware. It shuts unused processes.
You can uninstall software you won't use, and get a startup manager software to not start what you don't need. Defrag the HDD, add CCleaner software maybe.

Laptop gaming never reaches the level of tower PCs, and Lenovo Y580 has GTX 660M which is a little better and was selling it cheaper than your Dell [as I guess], but, it will do what it does. Your gaming should be a little better than NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450, and below NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti.

would formatting and installing my own version of windows void my warranty?

Jon

I have an HP computer but it's gotten to the point where a factory restore is needed, but i never made backup disks. So i'm just gonna backup my more important documents in a portable hard drive and reinstall windows. Would this void any part of my warranty?

Answer
Hi..


The warranty would cover the hardware not software..



PS..
A pre-installed OS would normally include a factory image in a recovery partition , this image is used as source to create and burn a factory image to DVD/CD..at any time with included manufacturers burning software..

As long as the system will boot you can burn factory restore discs ,most systems can also factory restore from partition if the the hard drive is functional and windows is curropt.
