Advice on a Laptop

[daisygirl_79]

I have been looking at this computer at Harvey Norman in Melbourne.

ASUS N550JK - CN14

Intel i7-4700 Quad Core
16GB DDR3 Ram
1.5TB Harddrive
4GB NVIDIA GTX850 Graphics
15.6" Display (1920x1080)


When i search online for a ASUS N550JK they all come up as touch screen but this computer isn't. I also can;t find anywhere online anything about "CN14" ones - what does that mean?

I can't find this exact computer anywhere online to look at reviews etc.., is that strange?

I am using almost solely to run Adobe programs, i am graphic design and need a kickarse machine that won't slow me down.

Any feedback on the computer would be appreciated.

Can you find anything with 860, 870 or 880M? Also try find one with ssd or get one with a blank bracket for adding one

Are those graphics cards - i am not very tech savvy! All the others i was looking at were GT740..

Looking at the prices on the Harvey Norman, you might be better off buying something from Amazon. You can use this to search for laptops that ship internationally.

Yes, the 860M, 870M, and 88M are the latest NVIDIA graphic cards. Those are the 3 you should typically look for, but there is nothing wrong with the 700 series, typically you still want the 765M, 770M, or 780M. They will offer you the best performance in each series.
