Need multiple assistance

[OnionRings]

Hello everyone, I need a lot of tech help, too much to keep posting here, I have skype if anybody would want to IM chat me about my issues. I basically just want to chat some stuff about my computer/elgato, rendering stuff, gpu stuff, browsing laptops on amazon, so I need some help. Please add me if you don't mind chatting.

Edit : Here are most of the things I want to discuss.

1. My current laptop and why it sucks

2. Looking into a new laptop, need assistance on the best price/performance comparison. I was looking at 3 here. > http://www.amazon.com/Asus-X550ZA-WH11-15-6-Inch-A10-7400P-processor/dp/B0158XJGJ4/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1462979222&sr=1-2&keywords=acer+aspire+e15&refinements=p_n_size_browse-bin%3A2423841011%7C7817234011%2Cp_n_operating_system_browse-bin%3A12035945011%2Cp_n_feature_five_browse-bin%3A7817224011, http://www.amazon.com/Acer-Aspire-15-6-inch-Performance-Processor/dp/B01DRZYN8Y/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1462979375&sr=1-3&keywords=acer+aspire+e15&refinements=p_n_size_browse-bin%3A2423841011%7C7817234011%2Cp_n_operating_system_browse-bin%3A12035945011%2Cp_n_feature_five_browse-bin%3A7817224011, http://www.amazon.com/Acer-Aspire-E5-574G-52QU-15-6-inch-Notebook/dp/B019G7VOSO/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1462979375&sr=1-4&keywords=acer+aspire+e15&refinements=p_n_size_browse-bin%3A2423841011%7C7817234011%2Cp_n_operating_system_browse-bin%3A12035945011%2Cp_n_feature_five_browse-bin%3A7817224011

 

Sorry for the long links, amazon links, all of those have 2ghz or above STANDARD no boost which is what I need to run my elgato.

 

3. Does GAME capturing and RENERING require a dedicated gpu? or is it all in the cpu and ram?

it's way faster to get help if you'd just post your questions/problems here tbh

[OnionRings]

Nah, I have a lot to talk about and don't want to wait on people to type it out and update and all that and stuff, much faster to IM. I can go edit most of my questions back into the top post for people who wont want to IM me but I still prefer chat.

Bump, after researching the laptops more the first option looks the best, it has a quad core with a decent amount of GHz, the 2nd one has more GHz but 2 less cores (do cores effect elgato/rendering?), and the 3rd is the one with the dedicated GPU but also the least amount of GHz and only a dual core. So im aiming for the first one, your guys thoughts?

Looking at some other options as well on newegg, if I deal with a really small 14'' screen they have some decent laptops on here around the 200-300$ range, 2.5ghz and more, 8g ram, 750g-1tb hdds.

Here is the search query I am using as well on newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100006740%204017%204018%204019%204020%204021%20600004343%20600004344%20600004346%20600004347%20600004804%20600136700%20600165638%20600566986%20600004341%20600004748%20600004011%20600004013%20600144172%20600213302%20600328250%20600336984%20600340307%20600355169%20600552374%20600559399%20600561257%20600567948%20601107075%20601107736%20601113566%20601114864%20600059503&IsNodeId=1

 

You'll see at the top what I've got checked, newegg does not let you search by cores, I'd have quad checked.
