    Should I wait for Pascal mobile?

    I really want to start playing Overwatch. Battlefront is also on the waiting list. Obviously, I have no absolute need to play these games, but I definitely do want to play them soon. However, I am willing to wait until the end of 2016 (maybe even early 2017) if the performance increase will be...

    Should I wait for Pascal mobile?

    Hi, I'm a laptop gamer looking to purchase a new laptop in the next while. I live in Canada, and I was looking at the Lenovo Y700, which is currently on a huge sale. But the GTX 1080 and 1070 were recently announced. I was wondering whether I should buy the Y700 right now, or wait for the...

    PC under $800USD for general use

    I have assembled a PC part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Dm47cf I've included most of what you requested. It has a Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Writer/Reader. It has a 2TB HDD + 240GB SSD. I put in 16GB of RAM in case you wanted it and an R9 380, but you could downgrade to 8 gigs of RAM and a GTX 950 if...

    Looking for decent notebook

    If you could afford that, it's probably your best bet. Although I'm not sure about pairing integrated graphics and CAD programs. But this would be excellent for note taking because of the battery life and weight. The integrated graphics, especially with the i7 and 12 gigs of RAM, should be fine...

    Still trying to look for a laptop for school and medium gaming

    This would be my number-one pick. It's a pretty affordable laptop that fits into your budget, even with HST included (as a fellow Canadian, I took this into consideration). The A10-8700P is a great jack-of-all-trades APU, and it should be able to fly through all of the tasks you mentioned with...

    Do you need a laptop for high school?

    I do understand that a desktop computer offers better performance and upgrade options at a superior price. And yes, I have considered this option, and I have made a http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/8jHHYJ parts list on PCPartPicker with all of the parts I may want to use in my build. I found a...

    Do you need a laptop for high school?

    So I am an eighth-grade student who is about to enter high school this September. I have around $1300 CAD (approximately $1000 USD) or so saved up (maybe a little more), and I was wondering if it would be worth it to splurge it on a laptop for school. Currently, I use a pretty decent HP Envy 14...
