Yes, tech prices always drop as new technology shows up. But dedicated GPU has always been premium priced for lappies. That Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD won't play most games easily at your 17.3" resolution at medium or higher settings. Going from 2.1 to 2.2 is insignificant. Storage isn't an issue since it's easy to upgrade. What you can't change is the graphics card or the screen. You might be able to change the CPU.Kmarion wrote:
I said except for the GPU.
This is NOT BF prices.

That would handle most games easily, resolution certainly wouldn't be a problem, it is a bigger screen, it has a faster processor, HDMI out, more storage. If you can find what I posted for $200-300 show me. I'd definitely think about getting one.
Two weeks isn't that long to wait. I expect a significant price drop that would make new machines comparable to your refurbished ones.
What you noted isn't bad, really, since gaming isn't a concern. But trust me, gut feeling, if you are even remotely considering current gen PC gaming, you'll need more than that 4500MHD.
Panzer, where are you?
Seems like it would be good enough. (Especially since gaming isn't a primary use.)
Remember this isn't a BF deal. A handful of insignificant things add up to significance. I can not predict what they will be. However, I know enough to know that with BF being weeks away it is definitely worth the wait.

uh, Panzer - can we get a different example please? i like 'em slow. but yeah . .GC_PaNzerFIN wrote:

I definitely PROBABLY won't be gaming at all, i'll be focused on my studies and sexing the college girls
Hi Panzer, recommended me a decent laptop for web surfing/school work , if its a european one, i'll try to find the american equivalent.

Good for what he wants.. you're basing everything on one single component.. which is actually not significant to him.Ilocano wrote:

All games they tried were unplayable in the 4500MDH review. Conclusion = don't even think about trying newer games with it.
It is nice for movies and 2D work with its low power consumptions. But if gaming is close to heart look away.

Nah. I pay more to get better sound. The specs are a measure of that sound, not its genesis.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
Truth be told, considering that it'll be a campus laptop, I'd get one that you wouldn't feel so bad about losing. Laptops often get stolen in campus. Looks for something in the $300 range that will get you by for schoolwork and Internet.=NHB=Shadow wrote:

We really want to dislike Google. Such a massive company with unbelievable wealth and control over all out data must be evil, right? But man, free airport WiFi for the holidays? Come give us a hug Goog. The gift extends the Virgin America deal already announced to 47 airports across the US until January 15th -- an arrangement expected to cover about 35% of all US travelers. Oh, and it starts now. Hey, at least we can still hate those money grubbing airport WiFi service providers. Hit the read link to find out if the airports in your holiday plans are covered.

If you know the dimensions and materials, you can calculate the absorption coefficient, room modes, flutter echoes, and so on. If you know that and some very detailed characteristics of the speaker(s) in question, you can calculate the exact 'sound' you'll get at any given spot in the room. Of course, it's far easier to just measure, but it is most definitely possible to calculate, too.ghettoperson wrote:

Fair enough, I was going to say, what you have in the room is going to make a lot more difference as to how it sounds than the size. But in any case, I hardly think measuring the coefficient of your carpet is a realistic idea so you know how it's going to sound.Freezer7Pro wrote:

Sooo ... I'm thinking of changing my MoBo, GPU and CPU and haven't been paying much attention to what brands and stuff that are groovy as of late ...
What recomendations do you guys have concerning MoBo chipsets and matching equipment ... would say the medium to medium/high price range ... am considering just buying a new PCI express GPU, my current CPU and MoBo is 939 (roughly 4 years old)

So are you saying you do this when you buy hifi stuff? And do you take into account the random bits of PCB you have lying around?Freezer7Pro wrote:

I'd consider that a waste of my time. Why do you care how it sounds like, so long as it sounds good to you?Freezer7Pro wrote:

To determine quality, are you listening to the sound or are you looking at the numbers?
