      My New Laptop

      Sup yall. Just purchased a new laptop for college/because my old tower was worthless (Yay intel core 2 duo processer and 1gb of ram!)

      What software should I equip it with? It came with a nice screen capture program, actually.
      Haven't decided if I want to game or not with it. I'll be doing video editing which is taxing enough.


      Here's my new friend.

      LaptopPicturn.jpg
      A Lenovo Y580.

      Specs:

      OS: Windows 8 (It's OKAY)
      Processor: Intel Core i7-3630QM (2.40GHz, 6MB Cache)
      Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX650M 2GB
      RAM: 8.0GB DDR3 1600 MHz
      Display: 15.6" HD Glare
      Hard Drive: 1TB 5400 rpm

      Re: My New Laptop

      It's a pretty nice deal! How fast does it boot with that crap 5400RPM 1 TB HDD? I know Win8 is fast on boot up, but if there's an extra slot for it, I might suggest a small SSD for Win8 and for your video editing software.

      Definitely planning on getting an SSD. Keeping AVCHD video files on the computers hard drive is such a bitch.

      Boots pretty quickly. Granted, I have nothing on it yet lol

      I feel your pain. My old desktop was an acer from 2006 that was like $300 back then.
      It feels like I can walk/run after being in a wheelchair my whole life.

      I installed Win8 on my computer a month or two ago. It still boots awesomely fast.

      Yeah, it's awful. This laptop is a Toshiba that came with Vista, has 2GB RAM, 1.8 GhZ Dual-core processor, and a crappy graphics card. It lasts 20-30 minutes on power saver and overheats unless I specifically place it with the side exhaust hanging in midair. It barely runs Minecraft at 20 fps xD

      My goal for the next few years is to get an Alienware laptop at some point. Even the cheapest Alienware would be a dream compared to this garbage xP
