RG 1 Report post Posted January 8, 2012 Easily is my opinion. Could look for a laptop with a higher screen resolution though. 1366x768 on a 15.6" screen is a bit low by today's standards, though still very common. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uokka 117 Report post Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) My knowledge about new hardware is limited but I would recommend to check the performance of the important parts (especially GFX card performance [GPU, MEM Hz] for gaming) compared to those with the same branding/chipset, but built into tower PC's. This is why I hate laptops. You either get an email checker with a low performance, or a powefull thing which batteries are empty after 1 1/2 hours or so.. I recommend to use a tower, if you dont really need a portable PC. -- Otherwise, use a tower for gaming/video and a cheap laptop for the rest Edited January 9, 2012 by uokka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheCoolest2 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the reply. I would get a tower but I move around a lot. Would like it portable. I agree with your statement uokka, you get an email checker with low performance or a powerful one with terrible battery life. A few better pieces of hardware in this one, I like the Zero dead pixel insurance they add in, expensive but they give you free shipping http://sagernotebook.com/index.php?page=pr...del_name=NP8130 If I was to get this one, should I get it with 6GB of Mem or 8 I was also looking at this http://www.xoticpc.com/force-16f2012-msi-16f2-p-3376.html The one I originally posted about I found for 687 because of discounts http://www.powernotebooks.com/configure.php?special=1009 Its 736 with 8GB of ram. 711 with 6GB Edit: The second one has a discount price of 959 Going to go with the Matte screen. So I believe I will be choosing the second one, but I have doubts now as new products are coming out Edited January 10, 2012 by TheCoolest2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
