Hi guys,

 

I need someone to help me with my decision I'm going to make. So, Linus just did a review on the G550JK and I have to say, it looks pretty good. What I was thinking of doing was selling my old laptop and my Wii U for that G550JK gaming laptop. However, I installed an SSD into the laptop I have now a few months ago and its been pretty fast but the gaming sucks. The laptop I have now has an i7 3630qm, an nvidia 610m, 8gb ram, and a 720p screen, along with the 500gb samsung 840 SSD I installed a while ago (a big selling point that I can use to get more money out of it). What do you guys think? Is it worth it to go from an SSD to HDD but get a GTX 850m and a 1080p screen along with a faster processor? 

Thanks!

610m?

That's worse than Intel's integrated graphics.

I can't install the SSD in it now, I would need to later. Again, selling the one with the SSD will really help to drive to price of it up.
