Yeah the bass in any open air headphones is going to be lacking and I can confirm it's not great in the 700's.

If you don't mind open air headphones the Audio-Technica AD-ATH 700's have great positional audio paired with onboard sound and virtual surround software.

It might be worth waiting a little while until the 900 series gpu's are in more laptops. I know they are currently in some MSI laptops but not sure about other brands. They have much better efficiency so you're going to get improved battery life over the same system with an 800 series gpu.

In Aus they don't usually sell the old models, except refurbished units. I even know people who have bought the old model the same month as the new one came out and were able to swap it for the new one, but that was back when Apple used to update their line without giving any warning.

Here is a red/black build. It uses quite a few rebate's though so let me know if that's a problem. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor ($336.74 @ SuperBiiz) CPU Cooler: Phanteks PH-TC14PE_RD 78.1 CFM CPU Cooler ($64.99 @...

I'm guessing it is in a laptop, in which case it cannot be changed.

No, the software is made to go with AMD and Nvidia hardware so there is no reason to install the software if you don't have one of their GPUs.

OK they are Cherry Blue or Razer Green. I'd probably go for Cherry switches just because they are a proven switch. The Razer switches only came out this year and I don't really feel like they've been on the market long enough to prove themselves reliable yet. Here is a list of the keyboards by...

The BlackWiddow comes with a few different switches, Blues, Browns and Razer Green and orange. Did they make a 'Click' sound or could you just feel the clicking point at about 2mm?

For a mouse i'd probably go with a Razer DeatAdder. For the keyboard, which switches do you prefer? Do you want Tenkeyless, backlighting or macro keys? I find Mechanicals loud enough without the extra click from Blue switches. Personally I like Reds which do not have a tactile actuation point...

I agree, both my parents use iPhones and struggle with my Galaxy S4 and I put both of them onto Macs after trying to teach them to use Windows PCs for years and within a week they were proficient. Apple's OS' are just easier to use than their competitors. Even I choose Apple for laptops just...

Just look at a customisable laptops from the major brands. You really only need 8gb RAM for gaming. It is possible to get 2 or more drives in a laptop and also a mix of SSD and HDDs. The Aorus X7 has these options for example.

First you'll need to check that the CPU is replaceable. It's not uncommon for laptop CPU's to be soldered in.
