So I want a new laptop for fragaplooza this year. I got a bunch of OT days in for picking one up. They have a sale going on where this is:
for under a grand. I hear that they can overclock rediciulously well - 4 GHz. I was thinking of skipping PC gaming for a few years but having this powerhouse for engineering, at home, would be great news! Either or, I'm picking this up only for fragaplooza, CoH 2, and lan parties and I'll be storing it away as PC gaming is only going to distract me next year.
Worth it? I was thinking of spending 1700 on a sager and grabbing the HD 7970m and picking up an SSD, but overclocking this guy would be sufficient for what I'm going to be gaming on it. I don't game at high resolutions anyways (easier to react in competitive play).
Ahhh!!!! I'm so excited.
