Need recommendations for windows 8 laptop.
Screen size: 14/15 inch
Brand: dell, asus, hp, toshiba
Usage: I'll be using it to watch a lot of movies and some gaming such as dota2 in highest detail. so i would need a full HD screen.
Price: Less than 4k
Would be more suitable if it is not very heavy and an ultrabook would be best.

Hi sifus. I'm here for few times already and I still can't decide on what laptop should I get.
Brand: Toshiba , asus , dell
Usage: I'm going to play games like dota 2 and I'm not sure about the graphic card needed. What graphic card is needed to play dota 2 in full settings?
Screen size: 14 or 15.6
Special requirements: I hope for a full hd screen as I will be watching shows. A bit of dota 2 and I hope for portability as I will be bringing it to school.
Budget: <3.5k
I'm currently looking at n56vz, toshiba p840, toshiba p850 and toshiba u840. Comments and why Ty sifus

If portability is important to you and you don't mind compromising a little bit on GPU performance (Dota 2 is not very demanding, as pointed out by the sifus in another thread), then these:
15.6"
Asus N56VZ-S4284H, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT650M + (1920x1080) + Bluray@RM3699[2.7kg][B&O], 4GB, 1TB, W8; color: black

Dell Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + 32GB SSD + 1TB HDD(5400rpm)@RM3199, 8GB,backlit keyboard optional, W7HP/W8 *use remaining budget for warranty extension to 3 years~

What about the toshiba models I wrote about? Are they not that nice? Mind showing the thread about dota2??
