Well everyone was so helpful with my desktop build on this site I thought I would post for some opinions on a new laptop. Im in Canada (importent to note because our prices are a bit jacked up), and I only want to buy my laptop from Costco. Reason being, they offer a 3 year warranty against pretty much EVERYTHING for 99 bucks. Im on my 4th laptop and not one of them has made it 3 years without breaking down so this seems like a no brainer for me. For a comparable warranty from anyone else up here, if you could even get it, it would be a few hundred more.
All that said, buying from there is a compromise because my options are so limited. I need this for school (network admin/programming), but I would also be using it at home for the usual stuff and some gaming.
So, Im torn between these two:
http/www.costco.ca/Toshiba-Qosmio-X70-A-01K-17.3-in.-Bilingual-Laptop%2c-i7-4700MQ.product.100057717.html
http/www.costco.ca/Acer-Aspire-V3-772G-9808-Bilingual-Notebook%2c-i7-4702MQ-.product.100109666.html
The Acer seems to check all the boxes, I would install a SSD for the operating system, but I am concerned that the GPU is kind of weak for any real gaming.
The Toshiba is a bit overkill, and a bit more than I wanted to spend, and again I would have to install a SSD. The GPU is much better though and it would be much more future proof Im thinking.
I guess the real question is would the Geforce GT 750M in the Acer be any good?
