I am interested in Toshiba/Asus laptops that have GT 740M and have mSATA slot.
Is there such models? |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Sep 20 2013, 11:40 AM) FHD on 15" screens are often more comfortable for editing Hey there, could you please let me know whether MSI GP60 has msata port? Photo and video editing would benefit from greatly from a powerful CPU and lots of RAM (and of course a good screen)  Can try these: 15.6" Asus N550JV-CN077H, i7-4700HQ + Nvidia GT750M + (1920x1080; IPS matte)@RM3699[2.7kg], 4GB, 1TB, W8, backlit keyboard Dell Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + 32GB SSD + 1TB HDD(5400rpm)@RM3199, 8GB, backlit keyboard optional, W8 Lenovo Y510p, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GT750M(GDDR5) + (1920x1080)@RM3099[2.7kg], 8GB, 1TB, W8, red backlit, swappable ODD, 120w psu, 2 yrs MSI GE60-2OC, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GT750M(GDDR5) + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM3599,8GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W8, steel series KB GP60-2OD, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GT740M + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM2999, 4GB, 750GB, W8, steel series KB Since you are not into gaming, I would recommend going for the MSI GP60-2OD or Lenovo Y510p. Use your remaining budget to extend warranty to 3 years; upgrade RAM to 8/16GB; and most importantly, swap the HDD to an SSD. THe SSD will bring about an extremely huge performance gain in load times, will save you a lot of precious time   thanks. |

QUOTE(nexus2238 @ Sep 21 2013, 08:02 AM) Lots of recent models don't have spare / blank mSATA port. iinm, there is no models that tick all your boxes Thanks a lot for the reco.. Ignore the mSATA, just grab a normal SATA SSD and replace the HDD (128G ~ RM300, 256G ~ RM600). no-mSATA: Asus K46CB-WX060H, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT740M@RM2199[2kg], 2GB, 750GB, W8, 4-cell, OD Toshiba Satellite L40-AS109Xb/G/W, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT740M@RM2199[Onkyo], 4GB, 750GB, 3 years local warranty Satellite L50-A100X/XW, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2199[Onkyo], 4GB, 750GB, W8SL; 3 years local warranty with m-SATA: Asus S550CB-CJ102H i5-3337U + Nvidia GT740M + 24GB mSATA + 500GB + (1366x768; touch)@RM2499[1.83kg], 4GB, W8 You have to replace the 24GB mSATA SSD if you want to put in larger capacity mSATA SSD for storage (also need to change the setting in BIOS to turn the mSATA from cache to storage). Prices are RSP, negotiable. For the Asus one, would the performance of the 24GB mSATA cache disk comparable to normal SSD? |
