    best laptop based on performance, €1000-€1300? (next week vacation in New York)

    Thank you for the advice, especially about the U series, however, the 4810 is a MQ like the 4800 :P I want to be more future proof and therefore I still have the custom build laptop as the current winner, it's a lot cheaper than the MSI and the ASUS has a 4710 HQ with a worse gpu. According to...

    best laptop based on performance, €1000-€1300? (next week vacation in New York)

    The XNOTEBOOK costs €1323 ($1503) including a free compatible laptop backpack/sleeve + thermal paste Freeze for €25 ($28) and the ASUS costs €1297 ($1474)

    best laptop based on performance, €1000-€1300? (next week vacation in New York)

    Thank you for the advice! 750 gb 7200 RPM 16 mb cache as a second drive would cost an extra €115 or 750 GB hybrid, 16 mb cache, 16 gb ssd as the second drive would cost an extra €139.....I can easily survive at least 2 years with only the 250 GB ssd as the 1st and only drive I expect that the...

    HDD 5400 RPM & 16 GB RAM vs 7200 RPM & 8 GB RAM

    Though, there is a serious downside of 7.2k rpm HDD. It eats up more juice most of the time [significantly, about 10-40 minutes of notebook runtime] + it's noisy sometimes and also heats up significantly more. SSD all over...:) My current winner is: http://i.imgur.com/XsaS04W.png Please give...

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M 2 GB versus AMD Radeon R9 M265X 4 GB

    Maybe the GTX860 isn't GDDR5 but DDR5 according to this picture/website http://i.imgur.com/XsaS04W.png

    best laptop based on performance, €1000-€1300? (next week vacation in New York)

    Thank you for the replies. The MSI is too pricey based on the calculations of Walter and based on my new current winner which seems even better than the ASUS....I like the ASUS of 1300 euros because ASUS is a very trustworthy/reliable brand/company and I can buy it in my own country like my...

    best laptop based on performance, €1000-€1300? (next week vacation in New York)

    I don't live in the USA, I live in a small country (Netherlands/Holland) in Europe, so I don't know if the warranty of 2 years also would count for me and I'm afraid that I won't even get a 1 year warranty, which is my minimum requirement, especially if I need to buy it from a very untrustworthy...

    best laptop based on performance, €1000-€1300? (next week vacation in New York)

    Maybe this ASUS is even better than your recommend MSI, even though the MSI has better graphics, because ASUS tends to be the most trustworthy, tends to have the least major laptop problems...

    best laptop based on performance, €1000-€1300? (next week vacation in New York)

    Thank you for the great recommendation, so far your chosen laptop is the best for my price tag :) Current winner: http://www.amazon.com/MSI-GT70-Dominator-895-9S7-1763A2-895-17-3-Inch/dp/B00IMTQ6I6#productDetails However, I've got 3 questions.... -Could I increase the RAM from the current 8...

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M 2 GB versus AMD Radeon R9 M265X 4 GB

    Thank you both very much for your replies. Did you both think about the memory/VRAM size? Your benchmark site doesn't seem to care about the size.

    HDD 5400 RPM & 16 GB RAM vs 7200 RPM & 8 GB RAM

    Thank you all for the replies. EDIT: I'll be using the HDD as the secondary drive and a 256 GB SSD as the primair/boot drive

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M 2 GB versus AMD Radeon R9 M265X 4 GB

    All else equal, which 1 is better? EDIT: it's also about the 2 GB versus the 4 GB, all the benchmark sites I checked didn't use the memory size into account (I believe it's called VRAM, but I'm not sure about that)

    best laptop based on performance, €1000-€1300? (next week vacation in New York)

    Thank you for the clarification. You're probably right, however, it would be impossible to get a laptop for 1600 euros after tax because my father wouldn't allow that. I just asked that. After your first reply, he told me about the import tax. I totally forgot that and I edited that just before...

    HDD 5400 RPM & 16 GB RAM vs 7200 RPM & 8 GB RAM

    All else equal, what is better? 1 TB HDD with 5400 RPM and 16 GB RAM or 1 TB HDD with 7200 RPM and 8 GB RAM (If I buy a laptop with option 2, then I would be willing to pay for an extra 8 GB RAM if that would be possible for the laptop in question in my specific price tag range, but that's...
