chrisj1968 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I must say, i'm highly impressed with Intel. I was always an AMD guy for numerous years, probably since the 600MHZ Slot A times of about 1998-1999 time frame. The only Intel I ever owned which was a WAY different time was the 166MHZ Intel circa mid 90's? But these Qosmio laptops are truly great gaming laptops. I have 16GB ram, a dedicated Geforce 870M card with 3GB ram and a 1TB HDD. (a prebuilt system and no offering of an SSD). But this laptop eats up any game on high settings and is exciting. I think it is cool that Laptops have surely come a long way since the 600MHZ days. (circa) 2000. I like Intel. I like AMD but I'm leaning more to Intel these days. goretsky 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted December 9, 2014 Moderator Share Posted December 9, 2014 So, you want a new laptop? What's your budget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisj1968 Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Oh I have a new laptop. The Qosmio X70 series. it cost me ballpark about $1,500. Not bad and I've always had no problems with Toshibas. my old laptop that my oldest daughter owns now had a bad mothrboard but was under warranty.

Their cheap budget ones are utter crap as of late, ever since the old A200 series the bodies have been flimsy as hell. I still use a 2009 Clevo M571 gaming notebook with GTX280M 1GB card, it still runs games acceptably on medium settings :) I can't believe it's 5 years old already, cost me the good end of ?1,440 when new and still runs great on its Core 2 Quad Extreme chip. Upgradeability is what I go for, gaming notebooks are extremely upgradeable :) I'll run this thing into the ground before buying another :) Qosmios and Clevos are the computer equivalent of tanks ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if I'd be able to swap out the Geforce 870M 3GB card and upgrade to another... hmmm I think there's a slot in this to slide in the geforce cards. there is also the Intel HD standard graphics adapter in here too. I might be able to upgrade when the time requires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
