Core i7 4500U
4GB GeForce GT750
4GB DDR3
1TB
ASUS X550L-XX013H

Core i7 4500U
2GB NVIDIA GT740
8GB DDR3
1TB
I've read in other forums that these 2 laptops might have problems running Windows 7? It's the OS I'm on and I'd prefer it rather than Windows 8 (which is the option from the computer store), I wouldn't want any incompatiblity problems with drivers or my software.
I'd appreciate it if you have any other suggestions other than these models.
Thanks!
