    PS4 or a laptop

    I would honestly say stick to the PC side of things. Much more usable than a gaming system as far as functionality. Have you checked into something like the Alienware Alpha? Not the best specs in the world, but will run games with similar performance to the PS4, comes with a controller, very...

    Which laptop would you choose?

    I am buying another laptop this weekend. I am limited to Best Buy(Due to having a ton of rewards and gift cards). I have knocked it down to 2 choices: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-rog-17-3-laptop-intel-core-i7-16gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive-black/6338098.p?id=1219660523280&skuId=6338098...

    Best 2 in 1 Laptops?

    The surface is a good choice as long as you will not be doing any gaming. The screen on it is by far the nicest one I have seen on any other 2-in-1 device. If you are in a major that writes a lot of papers, or if you take notes on your keyboard I would steer you away from the surface keyboard...

    Best 2 in 1 Laptops?

    If you do any gaming make sure it has a dGPU in it. The Spectre x360 has the option for a gt930m, but lenovo and asus both have options for a gt940m in some of their flip notebooks.

    Any laptops better than this one for the price?

    If they have removed the other SATA connector is there a possibility of re-adding one? Would something like this actually work? http://www.amazon.com/HDD-Cable-Caddy-Envy--J000/dp/B00GIGJYBG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1440176881&sr=8-1&keywords=hp+sata+cable+m7

    Any laptops better than this one for the price?

    I have had pretty good luck with HP laptops. I am currently using one with a 3rd gen i7 that has held up quite well. The only problem with my current one is no dGPU, so CS GO runs at ~22FPS at 768 and ~50FPS at 640x480.. The slow HDD doesn't really bother me to terribly much and I may switch it...
