Hey guys. My optimus IV is now inbuilding (after 10 working days!) and I cant wait to get it. My budget was around 800-900 and I plan to use the laptop for game development (unreal engine and 3ds max) and gaming (the elder scrolls online, dishonoured, far cry 3, warface, planetside 2 and maybe skyrim aswell) This is my spec;
Chassis & Display
Optimus Series: 17.3" Matte Full HD LED Widescreen (1920x1080)
Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Mobile Processor i7-3630QM (2.40GHz) 6MB
Memory (RAM)
8GB SAMSUNG 1600MHz SODIMM DDR3 MEMORY (2 x 4GB)
Graphics Card
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 660M - 2.0GB DDR5 Video RAM - DirectX® 11
Memory - 1st Hard Disk
750GB WD SCORPIO BLACK WD7500BPKT, SATA 3 Gb/s, 16MB CACHE (7200 rpm)
1st DVD/BLU-RAY Drive
8x SATA DVD±R/RW/Dual Layer (+ 24x CD-RW)
Memory Card Reader
Internal 9 in 1 Card Reader (MMC/RSMMC/SD: Mini, XC & HC/MS: Pro & Duo)
Thermal Paste
ARCTIC MX-4 EXTREME THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY COMPOUND (£9)
the rest is normal except I have the silver warranty. Its costing £797.
A few short questions though. I reviewed the additional notes posted after the laptop went into building. I know that the graphics card is soldered down, but there was an option for a 2nd graphics card when i looked over the notes. Is there actually space for a 2nd graphics card in the laptop or is that just the way the web page was formatted?
Aswell as that, I heard that there are a few problems with BIOS, and different drivers. I'm assuming that the laptop will come with a trial version of windows 7 (I didn't pay for an operating system). I will be updating to windows 7 ultimate. Will the trial version still be on the laptop? Does anyone have any problems with windows 7 on the optimus?
Thanks for any help and good look in your own laptop/pc stuff
