I tried opening my laptop. I removed the Network Interface Card and its a mini card from Atheros. So I can just switch that out right?

Greetings! I currently have the ASUS K55A-H15121e. Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 is for the WiFi right? -I bought this laptop for $400 so I dont expect this to have the top-of-the-line specs. -I tried installing a Bluetooth driver before from the ASUS page but it still didn't work. -No Function key...

I'd go with Lenovo. It weighs less and typically is the same with the other 2 HP's. Except that the HP's are refurbished. Cheers.

Left4Dead2--definitely Metro 2033-- yes but don't expect it to be at high settings. Probably at Low or med settings.

Dell XPS 14 try that one too.

What will you use this for? It's pretty good for general use and a little bit of gaming here and there.

By 50000, what currency will this be in?

Just check out the Graphics Card of it. If it says Intel HD 4000, try finding a better one. Dedicated Graphics = For gaming

You could find a lot of mid-tier gaming laptops there for $850. What websites do you have in mind? Check this out too http://www.ultrabookreview.com/2071-best-gaming-ultrabooks/

16GB would be kickass then. Afaik, it'll be faster when all the brands and Mhz are the same. :)

I'd choose the Dell or the HP. The GT 640M and HD 7670M is quite the same in terms of graphics. Get a Core i5 or i7 if possible though. Cheers!

If I'm not mistaken, Mac's are awesome when it comes to these programs. I could be wrong though.

I'm not sure it is, since 8GB is enough for almost everything.

Then if that's the case, I'd choose the first option. Core i5>Core i3
