If you are going for these MSI whitebooks, I think you should consider other resellers too. Head over to http://forum.notebookreview.com/msi/ to find out more. IMO, A MSI 1761 whitebook with i7-2670QM, 8Gb of 1333MHz RAM, a 640Gb/5400rpm HDD, 120GB Patriot Wildfire SATA3 SSD, Bigfoot killer...

Most importantly the MSI has better graphic card. The ASUS model's 2GB 560M is actually a 'gimped' version of the 1.5GB 560M found in MSI. So unless you want to show off a stealth fighter modded laptop to your new uni friends, there is no reason not to buy the MSI.

Yes you can use. Check your TV resolution. Check if your streamer can support that resolution or not. You are good to go!

Your requirement can be satisfied with laptops as cheap as $1500 like MSI G Series GT780DX-406US Notebook Intel Core i7 2670QM(2.20GHz) 17.3" 12GB Memory DDR3 750GB HDD 7200rpm DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570M or ASUS G74SX-DH71 Notebook Intel Core i7 2670QM(2.20GHz) 17.3" 12GB Memory...

Grab the Lenovo Y570. Its pretty cheap and relatively good build quality compared to other laptop offerings in dubai. But its around 4000 Dhs if my memory serves right which is slightly above you limit. Try looking for the ASUS N53/N55 models, I saw them on a offer at jumbo last month. Happy...

For that price range and i7 will fit in. so no need to worry about i5 vs i7. The laptop you mentioned doesn't have a dedicated GPU, which is kind of below par for that price. You could be looking at ASUS N55, N53 models, or Lenovo Y570, etc. There are HP DV6 models, but I wouldn't recommend it...

For the same price, a gaming desktop is ALWAYS a better deal than a gaming laptop. Could you please explain the term "In store credit cards" please? As far as I know there are normal credit cards with certain store names printed on them so that when you shop on them, you get special discounts...

For gaming its Laptop A. The GPU is significantly better than the one in laptop B. The processor trade off is completely justified. You might see new 6xxM series Nvidia graphics coming up this month the OEMs. But it will take upto a month before those laptops hit the shelves though.

The AMD E-450 is almost half powerful as the B950. But the difference between B950 and i3 is rather small. i3 having 4 threads and B950 having only 2, which will make the i3 multi task better. So basically if you are picky about the price, the B950 would be good choice. But the i3 will be the...

None gives native GPU acceleration. But any ASUS with 560M GPU is your best bet.

The MSI has around 10% improvement in gaming over that ASUS and its very flashy with lights all over the place. ASUS is way quieter and cooler. Choice is yours.

Since you get the same bad performance in other games too, it has to be a generalized problem. If your clock speed goes down significantly at high load it is throttling. If your CPU usage doesn't reach 100%, then it definitely not throttling. Try getting the GPU-z and start logging. Maybe its...

What do you mean by 'chip'? According to this article, the Q67 or Q65 chipsets cant support IB processors. So you cant upgrade that way. The SB-E chipset has not arrived yet to notebook market. Even when it does, it wont support the IB processor anyway. If you are looking to change the whole...
