My new laptop...

[Circuit]

Circuit please tell us what you want to do with this laptop. Just for FA or do you also play other games? do you convert videos? ... and so on.
And tell us how much many you want to spend.
.

I direct question deserve a direct awser

So i am canadian (can dollar). I looking for around 1k for spending

What i play the most is sup com and total war shogun. I looking to play too rome total war 2.

exept minor stuff, i dont do anything about hard with my laptop exept gaming. My biggest problem is to understand all the cpu thing. Back to my time, it was a little faster... just take the the gighz... Now i have to dig a little more about the cpu... you can have few more model inside a series. They are just part number now.. L1 or L2 or L3 memories, some still dual core and so on... I am little overhelming by all because i dont follow the cpu thing since 5 years

Like i said i know desktop have better advantage.... i got no room to put a desk in my appartement

Got an Asus G74SX in Canada over a year ago for $1200, it blitzes Supcom no issues. Grab a G75 these days for around 1k I think.

Yes, it works fine !

I used it since beta, I got it for free over MSDNAA / Dreamspark and my findings so far are:
Metro/ Modern UI is useless, but you can get by it and boot straight to desktop.
I never had problems with supcom, it worked flawlessly. Pretty much all of my games, which worked on W7, have worked on W8 too. There is only one program, which didn't work for me in W8, so I was forced to use a VM for it. However, that program is pretty obscure and most of you probably won't care about it anyway.
I like the system for its new and much improved task manager, and much improved explorer (folder explorer, not IE).
Performance? Pretty much the same as W7, and it takes about the same amount in RAM too.

I just made a laptop evaluation and this one is the winner http://www.cnet.com/laptops/lenovo-idea ... 36131.html. In one week i can give you a supcom user experience on that device.
My suggestion buy this one or wait two months for a new haswell notebook.

Cheers

Computers are quite frankly the same around the world.

They can cost different amounts though.
