  1. Running a blade 14 (2013) with corsair k70 browns and deathadder 2013 would love to try a new feenix mouse or keyboard with blue switches
  2. currently on my 2013 razer blade with gtx 765m :P. Currently building my first rig and want to use the rx480!
  3. Hello all! I'm helping my friend look for a laptop for architecture. The total budget would be $3000 CAD, shipping + tax included. So here are some of the characteristics we're looking for: Battery life: Aiming for 6 hours with normal use, aka facebook, word doc, video streaming. However, battery life is not a huge priority. Screen size + resolution: 15.6 inch, 1080p. 13 inch is too small to be working on and 17 inch is to large to lug around. 4k seems like a gimmick and destroys battery life. Also looking for a decent panel as well. Processor/GPU: quad core mobile i7 chip, preferably skylake for battery life. 970m/980m/workstation card. This is where i need the most help. My friend will be using programs like Photoshop, premiere, rhino, revit, vray, and some other programs for her architecture projects. I know workstation cards are "certified by adobe" or whatever but what are the real world differences between using a GTX card vs workstation? Similarly, what are the differences between 970m and 980m in those applications? Ram: 16-32 gb although 32 would likely be out of the budget Storage: At least a 256 ssd some other notes: looking for good build quality/reliability, want this laptop to last 3+ years (at least till graduation). decent trackpad (friend is coming from macbook air). Ive looked at a lot of laptops these past few weeks but i couldn't decide on one due to user reviews, cost, or availability. any recommendations would be appreciated!
  4. Hello all! I am currently looking to buy a budget gaming/video & photo editing/3D modelling rig. I am not in a big rush or anything but after watching scrapyard wars I decided to go with second hand items (so they may disappear if I wait too long). So, I'm currently eyeing this whole system: http://www.kijiji.ca/v-desktop-computers/ottawa/intel-i5-4570-3-6ghz-8gb-ram-1tb-hdd-windows-10/1159756493?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true I am gonna try to "low ball" an offer for around $360-$370. I'm also looking getting a second hand gtx 760, and low ball for around $150-160: http://www.kijiji.ca/v-computer-components/ottawa/graphics-card-video-card-3d-card/1158798179?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true I guess my question is, how would a 4690k compare in terms of performance for adobe suite, 3D modelling, and gaming? Would the 4690k last me a lot longer than the 4570? I would definitely plan on overclocking if i bought the 4690k. A big problem is definitely the availability of parts. If I go for the whole system linked above, I won't have to do any additional shopping and there would be no tax. If I were to buy a 4690k, most offers on kijiji in my area are about 200~ for just the CPU. I would then have to find all my other components which would likely add around 300-400$? I'm not sure. edit: im in ottawa area, so CAD, if that helps lol
  5. My favourite thing about the z2 is the camera and i love how dbrand skinned the phone!
