hey, i dont know a great deal about laptops so feel free to point out stupidity but i am looking for one to play new games on eg; skyrim, deus ex 3- i know the specs haven't been released yet but im sure someone can give a good guess. I will also be using it for music production(largely software based): i will be running cubase 5, reason, fl studio... ideally i will be using an external soundcard: right now i have a m audio audiophile usb interface. obviously you cant futureproof any computers let alone laptops but i want to be able to run games in 2-3 years on low-medium settings.
Basically i want to know if this build would be sufficient? is it overkill? will games actually utilize the hardware? any help/suggestions would be much appreciated.
