Hi All,
Looking for a bit of advice if anyone has a spare second,
Ive been looking at buying the Inferno 11.6" for a portable gaming laptop capable of running most games at a decent rate (ideally would be looking for a 13" laptop however the mirage and xenon dont really have the spec I was looking for and the 15.6" are just too big im afraid)
The spec I was looking at is attached below, however before I submit for purchase was hoping to get some advice from some of you gurus on here (and PCS for the shipping information),
(1) On the configurator The Inferno is listed as "Shipping from 4th August 2012". Does this mean It will be shipped to me as of 4th August? Or Build can begin on 4th of August? Just looking for a rough estimate of delivery,
(2) Should I go for the 3610QM or the 3720QM processor? (ive noticed this comparison a few times throughout the forums however wondering if its worth it on the smaller Inferno?)
(3) The Solid State drive......I would like to get the 480GB kingston, however Ive heard the intel is more reliable. Am I really running a large risk getting the 480 kingston over the 240 intel, should I go for the 240GB INtel or the 480GB kingston?
(4) RAM....2x4GB Samsung 1600 or the 2x4GB Kingston 1600?
(5) And last noob question, is there any noticeable difference between the wireless cards? Im going with the ole "Its more expensive therefore must be better" logic and was wondering for an extra £20odd should I get the gigabyte lan & killer 1102 or Ultimate-N 6300?
ALso, any thoughts or advice on the spec below would be very much appreciated, thanks All
