Razor Blade ( laptop )
« on: October 03, 2011, 10:22:21 pm »
So I've been looking at this thing for a while. I have the way to get one money wise but is it worth it spec wise and all of the bells and whistles? Or should I just drop the money on a desktop over the gaming laptop? I need a new system regardless but I am mobile a lot with school and nothing beats playing SWToR in Biology lecture .

Get a good Desktop and then get an off the shelf decent Laptop if you need one. It'll probably be cheaper and the same level of performance.

Lith I honestly don't know to much about computers. I have around 2 grand to drop with help from my parents. Could you help me build a nice set up for a desktop then i I go that route?

Yeah, you might want to look at ibuypower first before attempting anything on your own... of course unless you want to make building a desktop your hobby. :)

Well I've tried using that site and I'm just not sure if My set ups are the best they could be for my budget. I mean things like power supply whats the best mother board, how much ram how many video cards what video cards all of that is like Aurabesh to me ( then again I can speak  Aurabesh but that's not the point. ) Not to mention AMD or Nvidia @w@

You could probably get this without any tweaks and be good to go: http://www.ibuypower.com/Store/Gamer_Paladin_F850

Well within your budget. Make sure to get the free upgrades (for instance, right now you can upgrade the vid card to 2GB for free). Also, if you need a monitor, grab a 24" (Sceptre is what I use) and a basic speaker system if you need it.

Other than that, make sure you have a Razer Naga mouse http://www.razerzone.com

Also a nice headset is important since you'll be using TS.

I would personally would go with cyberpower because you save about $100-$200 that you can use to buy the tor keyboard or something else.

Get a desktop. I have a laptop because my previous livng conditions made it impossible to have a desktop. Also, this razor blade thing is waaaaaay over priced for the sub par specs.
