Hi all,
Was originally going to get a new system but then due to the fact I travel a fair amount I changed my mind and decided to go for a high end laptop.
Budget isn't too much of an issue, however when I say that I'd rather not be going above $3000.
With that I was looking at the 2014 Razer Blade and Blade pro - only available in the US at the moment but I assume they'll come to the UK by the time I have the funds to buy one. I would have gone something like Alienware but I needed a compromise between performance & form factor/battery life so
But the part that's confusing me:
The Blade 14" has 8gb ddr3l ram with a GTX870m (3gb gddr5) and an 128-512 SSD (I'll be getting the 512 but that doesn't make much of a difference). But the blade pro 17" has 16gb ddr3l however only has a GTX 860m (2gb gddr5).
At home most of the time I'll be using it for gaming (Nothing too intense, Dota 2 and FSX albeit with addons), and it will be hooked up to a 1920x1080 monitor. So, does anyone have any opinions as to which is better? I was personally going towards the 14" as it has a better GPU but double the ram in the pro has made me unsure.
Thanks,
Anthony
