1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Light Gaming (WoW, D2, QuakeLive), Word Processing, Music.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
Under 1200 before tax, and I would prefer to get it at my local canadacomputers store
3) Where do you live?
Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. The word "Everything" is not a valid answer. Please list out all the parts you'll need.
At least a 500GB HD, i5 or i7 proc, 4 to 6GB of ram, 5650 mobility or greater!
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
N.A
6) Will you be overclocking?
No
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
No Monitor, do not plan to use. Hopefully Native Res on laptop
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Plan to pick it up tomorrow!
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? etc.
None required
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If so, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
No
Basically I have been moving around a lot lately, and the trend is going to continue for the next year or so. I can't be bothered to pack up my current desktop (e4300@3ghz, 8800GTS, 2GB) and lug it around to my new temporary locations, so I am looking for a replacement!
The laptop will most likely stay plugged into a wall outlet for the majority of the time, so battery life is not a huge issue.
There are a lot of boxing day sales happening tomorrow, so I thought I would get some advice before splurging on a product.
I have a few notebooks in mind
Asus G73JW-X3C
Lenovo Y560
MSI GX640
The G73JW will be 1199 on boxing day (26th), so that is why I listed it as an option. I realize that the other notebooks are kind of the other end of the performance spectrum, but those are the options I am interested in (not limited to).
I know I should wait for SB, but I was unsure if I would be able to find laptops at these prices or not. I can wait however, if it would be the better decision.
Thanks for Any help!
Happy Holidays.
