Hey everyone,
I'm in a dilemma of whether to buy the Genesis IV or the Optimus IV.
I need a 15.6" laptop that has:
> 1920x1080 resolution (Yes the Genesis does have this),
> Low i7, and a reasonable graphics card (good enough for photo shop, dream weaver and basic gaming),
> Intel 6300 450mbps wireless card,
> 6x Blue-Ray RW
> SSD
My main concern with the Genesis IV is the small cpu exhaust vent, and the 65W power adapter, is 65 watts enough!?
> Would the Genesis IV be alright ^, or will I have to go with the Optimus IV?
