it's been a long time since they launched, so might be a bit more large with it now

Not even worried because macs don't get viruses...Jk 

About time to make this a standard.

Typical american sueing for everything 

Mx reds require 45g and membrane requires 60g if I remember correctly

Yes I know quite a bit about laptops, but you seem to be recommending the thinner pre-built machines for yourself even though you're not moving it around as much; I don't get that. A GT70 would be a better machine than a GS70 if it was in your price range (mainly for temps etc).
 
Custom built laptops are the best way to go if you're not getting bare minimum spec. You can't try them out in a store, but you'd get the best options. The reason pre-built laptops are cheaper is because they have the ability to go "on sale" for less once they've been on the market for quite a while.
 
If you really want a good idea on what you should buy however, I'd quicker suggest using this forum http://forum.notebookreview.com/forums/what-notebook-should-i-buy.16/
and reading the post requirements here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/what-should-i-buy-form-must-read-before-posting.29271/
 
Depending on where you are and what methods you're willing to use to buy, we could offer advice there. There's a lot of other people who know quite a bit on that forum, especially for your area, and may be able to offer you different avenues, especially good shops in your area.

so..they are acting like the first people to do anti-ghosting? 
I mean this is great an all, and I'd love to see a new switch, but come on. Sounds like a lot of marketing fluff. 

Arn't APU's for like poor people... why not 5820k + 970?

some pci lanes do not perform as well as others

Nope. no joke. I don't like them, especially when i already have tool less 3.5" bays. then i have to get an adapter to 2.5" and it needs screws.
 
I don't care. I love the sound of hard drives spinning. Since there's nothing from an SSD, they just sound boring, and plus you can't tell when it's dead until it goes dead. A hard drive makes unusual sounds, and that gives you time to back up and stuff.

they have around the same performance, but in higher res like 4k the 290x pulls ahead because of dat 512 bit memory bus, get whatever is cheaper

The cheapest GTX 970 is $320 in the U.S.
What are these $470 GTX 970s doing in a price/perf benchmark?

first one has a btter GPU and CPU but less ram and probably overheating issues if you can upgrade the ram to 8gb well then

"WTF" am I reading right now on LinusTechTips/Tech News forum ...?!?!

yay... 880 for everyone!!!!!!!

I really want to see how the next Formula board will look like.

Not really my style, liked the MSI boards better  :unsure:
Still, i find the pillars next to the heatsink on the "5 way optimization" board interresting.  :huh:

Do you have a room of money you roll in?
Can I have a Kingpin? Scaling after two way SLI sucks

budget?

it is 260W more than Nvidias Minimum, so Absolutly Yes

You are all part of something quite amazing by posting in this thread. 
 
Unfortunately it will be deleted along with any post increment you get from posting in this thread at some point... but have fun until then.

Since you're in the us, Sidewinders, frozencpu or performancepcs are the only real options.
