QUOTE(nexus2238 @ Jul 22 2013, 06:18 PM) Your requirement is a head scratcher OH, I forgot to mentioned... keyboard area+screen plate aluminium... the chasis can be plastic. You want (full) aluminium body, with no plastic. That are normally found in: a. ultrabook; or b. business class laptop (magnesium alloy) a. ultrabook - normally spec with ULV CPU (which is weaker than i5-3230M), and don't come with discrete GPU. b. business class laptop - normally don't come with discrete GPU, and even if it does, it will be Quadro / Firepro, and for these cards to be on par with GT740M for gaming purpose, you are looking at quite expensive solution. ... |

QUOTE(blueheaven @ Jul 23 2013, 05:49 AM) Is Dell 15r series aluminium enough? Haven't seen one in person though. And I seem to notice something about discrete CPU in one of its specs. Pretty cheap stuff as well. I've seen them in person. The spec+price doesn't fit me, I can get better specs for Lenovo or Toshiba. |

I'm currently on tight budget to buy a new laptop.
Currently Asus A550CC-XX309 is on my backup list in case the model I want (i5-3230M+GT 635M 2GB) is out of stock. A550CC-XX309 comes with i3-3217U and GT 720M 2GB. Is this combination strong enough to run Photoshop smoothly? How about games like L4D2 and Fallout 3 + New Vegas in high settings? |

I want to ask if Intel i5 U processor (Let's say 3317u) is good enough to run Photoshop occasionally (amateur PS user)?
I mean, we can turbo to 2.6GHz if the base is not enough. Furthermore, I am considering maxing RAM to 8GB. |
