Hey there, Thanks so much for the help ssddx and others. I thought I should close this thread so future readers know what I did and how it went. Here is my (still novice) opinion on my experience: My Purchase: I ended up purchasing a $150 set of Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro open-back...

Thank you. Both of these answers were helpful. I agree that I am all over the map on this one. I need to go try some of these out in-store before committing to a soundstage. I am probably leaning toward the large soundstage/positional audio since I am accustomed to the fake surround sound...

Hi Folks, I am looking to upgrade from my Logitech G35 to a real audiophile headphone (the G35 is literally falling apart). I use the headphones for 80% gaming/20% music/video. I'm a little bit noob to audio and need help. Since this will be my first time really using my onboard audio -- is my...

With no game playing there is almost no difference. Neither ram or gpu will matter much. You should go find them in a store and touch them -- feel means a lot in laptops. Trackpad quality is important too - particularly with Win 8. Other thoughts: The acer may have better battery life with...

No problem. You too. (and great catch guys on apparently googling the model -- I was relying on the submitted post)

Hi there, Asus is the better brand. Those processors are the same. 8GB memory is better. Hard drive doesn't really matter. Really what you want to look for here is the best graphics possible. If you can get higher than the Intel Graphics 4000 that comes on those it would be ideal...

Thanks!

Another good resource is http://www.notebookcheck.net/ They have mobile processor and graphics hierarchies.

Contact Acer. I assume you have a warranty/support number? We can only help if there are symptoms that describe what your problem is and you can provide detailed information on all the components. Even then its unlikely we know what broke inside the laptop. It has worked previously, right...

xpehThe one thing I want the most is for Adobe to fix their shitty flash player, or for most websites to move to HTML5. Amen. IMO 99.9% of all browser crashing is Adobe's fault.

Cats_PawYeah.. cus definitly using win8 is the same expirience as that... The same experience as pushing a button and the wall falling down LOL. JK - I'm sure its just as good as previous Win. Agree that no normal person would stand there. Clearly actors.

Uh, is this in response to Firefox announcing 25% speed increases in the next version? Because if so this browser war is getting a little petty.

koga73our great country has now been destroyed. good job.i don't see how we can survive another four years of his policies/ I'll survive just fine. Sorry if you don't fit in the global economy. Maybe go back to school?

Assuming you are using windows 7 (provide more info if you are not): click start > type "volume" > click "adjust the volume level" You should also have a small sound icon on the bottom bar that you can click to change volume.
