Questions & Answers

rochelle m : i just wanted to know if this is a suitable laptop for a first year biochemical engineering student? ive searched the net and these contain all the characteristics of a good laptop for an engineering student. i just wanna make sure if this is really alright.ANTHONY W : I think this would serve your purpose very well. I use it for Word and Excel, but not huge files. If you have specialist statistical software, I can't say how well this would work, but you can always double the the memory at little costANDREW R : It really depends on the type of computing you plan on doing (graphically intensive applications may require a bit more computing power and a better GPU). I would highly recommend checking out our laptop buying guide, which may be found here: <a href="http://www.adorama.com/alc/0013074/article/Laptop-Buying-Guide-2011" target="_blank">http://www.adorama.com/alc/0013074/article/Laptop-Buying-Guide-2011</a>
Kevin K : will this machine handle newer games. What's the deal with the dedicated/non-dedicated Graphics card combination?ANDREW R : The specs of this unit indicate that it may be suitable for some games, though many newer CPU intensive games may suffer. The 13.3" screen may also be a bit small for comfortable use as a gaming rig. I would recommend looking into the requirements for each individual game and comparing that to the specs for this unit before making your decision. The integrated/non-integrated Optimus graphics technology allows the unit to adjust graphics output to optimize battery life and computing performance.
CHRIS N : what is the correct weight--shows 3.7 and 1.6--which is correct ?Glen H : The weight of this unit is 3.7lbs (1.68 kilograms).
