my big problem with the lenovo was the 5200RPM HD. pretty set on that last asus I posted, I think, unless you can see any potentially large issues. I don't understand why laptop GPUs are impossible to upgrade - shouldn't they be able to add a removable plate to the bottom, maybe not solder the card to the motherboard - why don't they do it? is it a design issue or a they-get-money issue?

And you can upgrade a HDD. And the speed of your CPU + GPU is WAY WAY more important then the HDD speed.
[QUOTE=Barblunder;28927504]Fuck it all, I don't need groceries this month. Going for [url]http://www.atic.ca/index.php?page=LongDesc&sku=73019[/url] Intel Core i7-2630QM 2.0GHz Quad-Core (2.9GHz Turbo) - 4GB (Max 16GB) - 750GB 7200rpm - nVidia GeForce GT 540M Thanks for all your help - w/o you guys I would have just grabbed that acer in OP[/QUOTE] Great choice !! But I saw the exact same one has a same processor but slightly more powerful Gpu. This one is 540 whereas the other one is 550.
I'm not too worried about it as I haven't been able to find that model in stock around here. This laptop is for minecraft and GTAIV, and the difference in GPUs is minor. But yeah I'm hoping this works. It might be overkill for Minecraft but after acid the other night I realized that Minecraft is basically just as important as everything else combined in my life so I want this fucker to run it good. If I'm slipping into some kind of psychosis/schizophrenia with minecraft at the centre I don't even care. Feels so good. Minecraft is the truth, maan.

Kind of like real life, hey?

Off topic, but a really fascinating discussion :/ Just seems like when you die it's all for naught anyways and if I can find some happiness and fulfillment in Minecraft, even temporarily, it's worth it. I'm already getting an education and fucking a pretty girl (donno about prettiest in town). and I'm a master cellist, check out my latest vid [URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6yuR8efotI[/URL] HAAA Anyways I did end up buying that last beast I posted this morning. More expensive than anything else but it definitely seems like the best choice, all around. Good modern processor, graphics card capable of running GTAIV on high (I fucking love GTAIV), and a fat fast HD. With a full keyboard. :D Now I just have to deal with thinking about everything else $1000+ could have bought me.
