    Is there any chance for price reduction of laptop in two or three months??

    I had an AMD laptop that overheated a lot. But I can't say for sure whether the AMD processor was at fault. Watch out for another thing - don't mix intel with AMD. If you choose an Intel processor, get an NVidia Graphics card. I have had problems due to having an Intel processor and Radeon HD...

    [Somewhat urgent] Powerful laptop required for Game Design. Related advice appreciated

    Look at it this way, from what I can tell only custom laptops like from Aftershock would have an easily upgradable GPU. And they do not seem to provide any cheap/stock GPU options. So I'll have to spend a lot on their GPU + get a Quadro no matter how cheap. I think I'll get a 870/880 for now. I...

    Yeah I read up on Clevo laptops. It might have been a good choice if I was in US. Xotic and some other resellers seem popular and reliable. Plus on xotic and one other website I would've saved about 20k INR. Same configuration as the Aftershock. And I didn't realize Aftershock used Clevo. Thanks...

    Although I enjoy gaming, I usually only play a few "new" high-end games a year. I'm more into weird stuff. Like retro games. Indie games. I enjoy some big-company titles. I won't mind if I can only run them on high and not on ultra. I can live with that. Is size the only argument you have...

    I realize that, about the graphics cards, but I don't know enough yet to be able to tell what is better. I just assume that a higher VRAM is a general way to tell if its better. I guess GDDR5 is always better than DD3? I don't keep very up to date with new technology I guess. I still find it...

    Thanks for the info. I'll definitely look up the quaddro cards, but I'll probably double check I need them before investing in one. I'm not really sure at this point how much of what I'm going to do will require rendering. Does rendering a 3D game in Unity count as rendering too? Because using...

    Hey everyone. The topic says it all. I feel stupid I waited so long now, but I need to buy a laptop by the end of the month. My game design college course starts from the 1st of July. I researched a bit about this already, and I've found that people have found the heavier, bulkier laptops...

    Assembling a PC for the first time - need help.

    Thanks, seems quite good ^^ I think I don't want to spend an extra 5k on a GFX card... How much would the difference be b/w this one and the ones vicky mentioned? Maybe it wasnt the AMD processor, maybe its just normal for a laptop to heat that much regardless of the processor brand, since...

    Assembling a PC for the first time - need help.

    My laptop is a piece of crap, finally decided to buy a desktop this time as I was mostly using it at home anyway. After looking at several brands of PCs and several models, I'm thinking I should take a shot at assembling one myself, if only to see the possible configuration within my budget as...
