Hi people,
Will be getting this Laptop in the next week if all goes well. Tell me what you think/ Any improvements. I'd like to stick to the £810 budget or thereabouts, unless its a ridiculously good upgrade!
i will be using this laptop mostly for Uni work, so word/internet/some mathsey programmes.
For any of you who have this laptop/ or more specifically a 15.6 incher, would you say that is the right screen size for someone like me? I.e. Need to carry it around to lectures/ put it on desk in evening or something. Because the optimus 17 inch has a gt555m graphics card! Would a 17 incher be too big for carrying often? Would be doing mostly RTS's like Anno and the newer total war, plus perhaps some left 4 dead/ COD. Is a gt540m up to that task?
And last question (yeah i know!), is it worth asking for the matte screen? Or is the glossy one ok, i.e. not too much glare, especially in a well lit room like lecture theatre? And would it get loud if I just plonked it on my desk, because I don't really want to get a stand!
Thanks!
