I currently have an aging acer laptop (540m) that can surprisingly still play most modern games on a combination of medium to high (struggles on crysis 3 and Tomb Raider though), but with the release of haswell and the new 700m series it seems like a good idea to upgrade initially (was rather interested in the new razor...)
But with the new consoles coming out, do you think next years games might require a larger-than-normal jump in gpu power to run games on high? I know the consoles are weaker than PCs, but optimization has always been a issue thanks to lazy developers.
...however the new ps4 is said to not to have its own custom configuration (unlike the previous generation) and be similar in architecture to a PC... hopefully making porting a lot easier.
so what do you guys think? upgrade now, or keep chugging along for another year? if now, any good gaming laptop recommendations? I would prefer it to be thin and portable... similar to the Razor, but perhaps with a 1tb hard drive, instead of a small ssd...
assume I have no price restrictions... (I do, but I want to see my options)
