While I would recommend a desktop instead of a laptop for gaming, if you must have a laptop then I strongly recommend something with more graphics horsepower than the A10 APU-powered system you were considering. I feel shifting away from AMD APU (with or without a discrete GPU) to an Intel CPU +...

Any Intel i5 or i7 paired with an nVIDIA GT 940M or better would kick a 7300P to the curb. If you really want a decent AMD APU-based laptop, you should consider going with a Carrizo A10-8700P or FX-8800P, or the older Kaveri FX-7500P. The FX models are quite rare, though. (I think Best Buy is...

What is your budget? Seriously, that's the starting point for any recommendations...

Try enabling/updating the Adobe Shockwave Flash plug-in or disabling (or removing) it and use your browser's HTML5 capabilities instead. (You could also install Adblock Plus to rid yourself of the Ads, if you wish.) You may also want to check for a browser update...

Both links say the model is equipped with a 5th-gen Core-i7 CPU... Have you ever considered a Sager? http://www.sagernotebook.com/17-Laptops/ Their Clevo-based laptops are pretty damned good. Some even come with desktop CPUs. Eurocom is another company that sells Clevo-based laptops, and it...

So... Where are Gigabyte and the Clevo-based Sager and Eurocom brands ranked? What about CyberpowerPC? Or for that matter, iBuyPower? Seriously, if Laptop Mag wants to tell us who the best and worst brands are, then these brands MUST also be compared!

I have to disagree, Techy. I'd be more inclined to go with an Intel-based lappy with nVIDIA GPU than an AMD Kaveri- or Carrizo-based one. Kaveri and Carrizo laptops are constantly being limited in power by manufacturers. Most are limited to ~15W while fully capable of up to ~35W TDP. When...

That Realtek HD Audio Manager interface looks quite a bit dated... Try downloading the most recent package here: http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

A splitter, or in this case a Y-adapter, will work. The laptop has a 4-pole input, which combines the normal 3-pole connections of a stereo headset and microphone into one connection. Head to your nearest Radio Shack, Best Buy, or other electronics store and ask for a 3.5mm two-female 3-pole to...

Why can't we have both? Why can't such titles undergo more intense internal and/or public testing? Why can't they simply release at a later date? I blame the big publishers. Simply being profitable is no longer enough within these publishing companies, and it's even worse within the...

I've used the mod, and I noticed some increased detail, especially when it's raining in-game, and even moreso when it's raining at night. The mod's downfall is its Depth of Field, though. When using this mod, DoF is just INSANE! Everything 50-feet away starts to blur, and the further away an...

Ships with Windows 8.1 but we can "upgrade" to SteamOS for all those Linux-exclusive Triple-A games, right? Oh wait...

Damn! The player details look amazing. I can't help but wonder if such high details will only apply to the NBA's "marquis" players, though.

I thought the protagonist's name was Aiden Pierce, not Adrien...

Seems like a possible excuse for what could likely be another "permanent internet connection required" game.
