SLI just about dead yet?

SLI and Crossfire have always been niche and not supported by every game. In this age of Kickstarters and Steam Early Access support is even more spotty, but when it works it's brilliant. The only reason I have SLI currently is because my it was an optional upgrade for my laptop down the line...

Looking for a Netbook

Ah thank you, the ASUS 1015E seems to be sufficiently powerful for my purposes. As everyone here has said, proper netbooks are a dead breed, and now it's all about Chromebooks and 2 in 1s. Someone who wants a tiny proper laptop is rare I suppose.

Looking for a Netbook

I know, that's the point of this post mate. I'm looking for a netbook that actually has modern specs, but I can't seem to find any.

Looking for a Netbook

By netbook, I mean a laptop that has a 10 inch screen. I found out about the Dell Latitude 2120 recently and grabbed one for cheap on eBay. I love the form factor and the build quality, but the performance is horrendous. My model has an Intel Atom N455, with a 1024x600 resolution. However, I do...

Just ordered a Lenovo Y500 with i5 and GT650 SLI

If I were you I would reconsider that particular order. While the i5 that ships with that y500 is not the worse (I assume you ordered from NewEgg) you could simply go to Lenovo's site and order an i7 3630QM y500 with a single 650M and DVD burner for $849.00 + the second 650M for $137.99. The...

i7 3630QM (2.40GHz) vs i5 3380M (2.90GHz) for gaming

One more thing to remember is that Intel's CPU overclock if the situation demands, such as when you're gaming. The i7 3630QM auto overclocks to 3.4 GHz for a single core if the application demands. Likewise the i5 3230M auto overclocks to 3.6GHz for a single core if the application demands. Both...

i5 3230M (2.60GHz) vs i7 3630QM (2.40GHz) for gaming

Yep just as NTMBK said you'll need a USB DVD drive while the second 650M is in the optical bay. However if you don't need the second 650M for a certain task, such as watching a movie, but you would like the DVD drive just put it back in. That is the beauty of swappable components.

i5 3230M (2.60GHz) vs i7 3630QM (2.40GHz) for gaming

I/m not sure what your price range is but have you considered the Lenovo Ideapad y400/y500 models? y400: http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/c...3B&action=init y500: http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/c...FB&action=init Basically they are 14" and 15" models of the same computer...
