the junky on gaminglaptopsjunky does a fine job constantly updating the laptop price tiers and recommendations list for gaming and performance. goes slightly more indepth of the differences between competing models as well(e.g bigger screen, more ram etc) and even gives options if you are...

password bypass is forbidden material to talk about here. for aid on that, speak to the motherboard manufacturer

what kind of price range are you looking for. edit: assuming you have a similar price range as above laptop, if you dont want the bells and whistle looks at a lower cost, try investing into a similar specced sager NP8235

yes, the cpu is somewhat of a bottleneck on the 8970m's performance. the laptop was designed to be a high end laptop that was affordable, so it put its budget heavy on the GPU than the CPU.

yes O_o. if it doesnt handle 4 well, it should handle it better post mantle patch. how can we answer a question to something that hasn't been tested yet. almost no one benches medium.

do you have a soundcard or is it included in price? edit: and yes, the Audioengine A5's are probably one of the most recommended speakers

to get external gpus for laptops, they are usually done in either Express card to PCI-E or Thunderbolt port to PCI-E both of which are not cheap and are probably not present in that ultrabook

7650m and 7730m. notebookcheck is okay for user input on testing fps at various settings. it gives you a general idea of what people are getting

of course the one with the better GPU would be more ideal for gaming. its a matter of $/performance if you think 100$ is worth that performance boost

for non heavy use, I personally think the most important factors are: 1. general speed, which will be dictated by cpu power and storage type(e.g SSD > Hybrid HDD > 7200 rpm HDD > 5200 rpm HDD in speed) 2. Screen Resolution. no point in displaying 1080p video when your monitor resolution doesnt...

it has a 8670m gpu so ill point you to this direction http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-8670M.87211.0.html which mentions that its similar to a 6750m http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-6750M.43958.0.html where the bottom of the page will help you find out what settings and...

@jscynder Specs only attract the higher graphic end gamer who isn't the majority in console sales. Historically, it hasnt been the stronger console that sold the best always. The Wii outsold the PS3 and 360, despite being weaker. The PS2 became the top selling console in history despite being...

haswells gains are igpu gains and power consumption. performance barely moved
