Hello Tom's Hardware,
I turn to you for your thoughts on which laptop i should get. Currently i'm traumatised by HP and their DV7 series. I had switchable graphics with drivers that where more outdated then Atari, Overheating issues, Irregular fan speeds, BSOD's. This was my first laptop expierence without an integrated GPU.
So i sat it on fire and let it truly overheat mwahahahah.
Anyway i need a new laptop for school and i got 3 choices.
Option A. : Lenovo G710-00725 € 683
1TB HDD, i7 4702MQ, 8GB (1*8GBDDRIII1600), Intel HD graphics 4400
Option B. : Acer Aspire V3-772G €843
500GB HDD, i7 4702MQ, 8 GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 4GB
Option C. : Asus N750JV €1043
750GB HDD, 4700HQ, 8 GB DDR3L 1600 MHz, NVIDIA GeForce GT 750 (N14P-GT) DDR3 2 GB VRAM
Here are my questions regarding the laptops.
1. The price differs allot and i'm wondering if its worth it to go above 683 for essentially.. a 3D card. Is it worth it?
2. I like gaming.. that is.. i like emulation (Dolphiin, ppsspp, epsxe and pcsx2) and i love it on highest settings with awesome rendering.
But isnt that asking for trouble? due to heat and heavy load? will i be cutting deep into the lifespan of my laptop?
3. Whats the difference between VRAM 2gb and 4GB (in regards to the asus and acer option)
4. Which brand is more durable? after all the domestic violence i've been thru with HP.. i just want to be loved again.. not beaten to death by BSOD's and outdated drivers.
5. Asus claims (on the site where i'm ordering) that its cool and efficient in its heat management. Its supposed to have alluminiun has better heatpipes etc. Is this a load of ****? or is this actually true?
Much love to all of you trying to advice me.
Thanks!
PS. All laptops are 17 inch
