I haven't spec'd anti virus software, as I already use Eset Smart Security.

Flucky

Well-known member
Woah, did you just scroll down every option and click the last one :p ?

If it's just for business (even if you were going to use it for gaming) drop the KILLER card down to the Ultimate.
Other than that... this is my dream machine.
 
Wow are you sure this is not for gaming it looks like you have set everything to the max with that Nvidia Geforce 485M and 16GB RAM and that GIGABIT LAN & KILLER Card! Agreed you don't need that card unless you do plan on gaming im curious though just what type of business do you need it for?
 

Teaz

Godlike
quite the overkill especially for a business laptop lol. If the laptop will be handling thousands of data then 8gb of ram would do fine along with the cpu but the gpu could be droped down to the 470. same goes for the Lan killer card and go for the ultimate instead. i think the cpu is possibly fine to hold onto since they cant aren't upgradable and it should last a fair longer as advancements go by.
