Yeah this, you could get a laptop with an i7 for that price and it would still be stupid because they overheat and the fans are noisy as fuck.
Why would you buy a laptop anyway?

Find a better one.
It's got a 645m and a half decent processor. If you find something better with a dedicated card under 734(my exact budget) please let me know.
None of that is sarcasm btw, if you know of something better, I'd cancel my order.
@Cryoma, because this one is just about dead and I need a laptop for school and work, and the occasional game or two between classes.

my suggestion is go for something smaller with a better graphics card.
really depends of what are you going to use it for. My opinion is biased.

I see where you're coming from, but I couldn't find a better card. I also can't go too small because I use it for programming. Also can't go too big(17in) because it becomes a pain to carry around all day.

There's no point in getting a gpu, intel graphics alone can run casual games on low-medium.
I have a p6 that can run dota 2 and league on high with minor lag, so I play on low for max fps, and i7 would leave me in the dust.
If you actually want to play hardcore games on a laptop, that little gpu won't cut it.
Besides, dedicated card in laptop = overheated any time you so much as open a swf.
Take a look at this for example:
http://www.costco.com/Dell-Inspiron-15R-Laptop%2c-Intel%C2%AE-Core%E2%84%A2-i7-3632QM-2.2GHz.product.100010241.html
It's cheaper, you're getting more ram, a better cpu that can oc slightly higher, and it could probably run everything on low.

I don't want to run it on low though, and I don't want to play "hardcore" games on it either. It also doesn't need anymore ram, and the processor is more than adequate for my needs. I'm waiting for an actual justifiable reason apart from "my needs make me want this." I've stated my position, and if there's a laptop that fills that paradigm better, than I'd love to hear it. I also don't care about price as long as it's within my budget, and actually would rather get as close to maxing my budget as possible
also, for reference: http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-645M.81417.0.html
And yes, I know I'll get slightly lower performance as the test system has an i7

>intel graphics alone can run

yeh
because being able to run something means it runs well
Why the fuck would he want to play a game with shit FPS on low settings?

Thank you, lol.
Looking forward to maxing TL2 and playing 60+fps between classes instead of running it at 22fps on low at a lowered res.

| Intel graphics don't run, they don't even walk. Crawling would be a good term but I seen some infants craw fast as hell.

Overheat? Please don't generalize things like that, it's really ignorant of you.
