[clug] Cheap(ish) laptops in Canberra?

[George at Clug]

Richard,


You said "My prior lappie was an i7 with 16GB ram and 2x 1TB hds", but
what was the video card, what drivers did you use?


 I had issues with the internal Video Card (GeForce GTX 860M). Even in
Windows, it was not good enough to run GW2 or Ark Survival Evolved
without lag.


Have you tried SSD drives?  I have found SSD drives provide an
advantage.



George.

17.3" Gigabyte P27G Core i7 4810MQ, 8GB, 1TB HDD, 128GB SSD, NVIDIA
GeForce GTX 860M 2GB, Win 8.1

Now that it has crapped its nappy, I hope to get more for less .... as
we tend to.

As the ghost of a sceptic, I tend to stay pretty quiet.
