That is a gaming laptop. If it is used strictly for streaming, meaning having the PS4 output to a device like an Elgato, AVerMedia, or any other game capture device, then you don't necessarily need all that horsepower. Something even along the lines of an i5 will be able to handle the feed from...

What are your temps? You say it is not overheating, but that might be exactly why. It sounds like the processor is thermal throttling to prevent overheating, which is what it should do. Try getting one of those laptop coolers that you put underneath your laptop, it should help. You may also...

I would get the Asus Vivobook. Since you already have a very powerful desktop and a dedicated GPU, it would be better to get a very portable lightweight laptop for when you are traveling. The 1080p display on the vivobook at 13" will look very sharp as well.

@tomc100, it was a while before 1080p came into the hands of the consumer in the form of camcorders, so it will just be a matter of time before 4k is as well. The biggest hurdle we have at the moment is storage.. 4k video content can fill a memory card 4x as fast as fast as 1080p, so most 4k...

Somehow I put about 500 hours into the original, but then the new content that was coming out sort of ruined the game for me. I am very excited to try the sequel. I signed up for the beta a long time ago, but never got any invite.. Also, I am glad they are dropping the MOBA thing. They need...

Just be happy nothing major happened... The only thing I would say is maybe run a SMART check on the hard drive, but if there weren't any problems booting you are probably fine there too. There's no reason dropping your laptop should reduce battery life, that is just paranoia.

The clock speeds are actually the same (2.4Ghz with 3.4Ghz turbo), that is an error on bestbuy's website, here are the links to intel page for the two different SKUs http://ark.intel.com/products/75117 http://ark.intel.com/products/75116 They are both 4th generation i7 chips, the only...

My household has not had any form of cable or satellite for over 5 years, and we don't miss it one bit. I do however have a Netflix subscription and I'll possibly pick up Amazon prime again in the near future.

It shouldn't be an issue. I have run live CDs of mint/ubuntu on new windows 8 laptops at my work (Best Buy) and only ran into one issue. Since pretty much all windows 8 laptops have UEFI BIOS, I had to go in and set it from UEFI to Legacy boot, after that it booted into Linux just like any...

@mikenygmail Yea, the no HD streaming on PC is the only reason I haven't used it much lately. When I first signed up you could, and within a month they took it away. I am sure it is due to licensing issues and not entirely Amazon's fault. I got Prime more for the free 2-day shipping anyway...

@hakesterman, HD DVD is not a microsoft format, they just happened to release an external HD DVD drive for the xbox 360 at one point. It was a Toshiba/NEC product. It's also not just as easy as reviving a dead format, since the costs would be higher to restart production on HD DVD lasers and...

No way, a shortage of a console on release? That is completely unheard of in the gaming industry, Sony should be ashamed. /sarcasm

If you had a 3G or 4G plan, maybe the wireless provider you had the laptop set up with could help you recover this number..

I would buy it if they make it available on steam.
