Are switchable graphics really that bad? :U
I've never had to update drivers before so I'm wondering if this is honest, decent advice or just the biased remarks of a gaming nerd. :3

Cnet didn't mention anything about the switchable card being bad.  My friend's father who is a computer technician overlooked the specs and said everything was good for the price, so idk what these guys are saying.  One major problem that all user reviews gave was that there was some faulty hardware originally, and they needed to send it back. :S

Honestly, I would write an open apology on facebook to anyone I have ever done wrong with an added goodbye to all who know I would have personally said bye if I had more time.

I would then write a post here with an apology to anyone I have done wrong.

I would then curse my own vital flaw of having never opened up to anyone, not even friends or family.

Then I would lay in bed and listen to my Zune, awaiting death.

You're paying for the 'b' logo on the keyboard. The laptop itself is a terrible investment in the long ru. For that price you can get a really good gaming laptop from different websites, the only reason Id ever buy this would be for the adobe products it comes with. The switchable graphics drivers never get updated, so, prepare for texturing forget ups and polygons everywhere.

For 1.300$ or 1.000$ you can get a good laptop from

http://Http://www.ibuypower.com

Or

http://Http://www.newegg.com

Just look around at specs, not names.


Also, since when is it rare for a laptop to have a built in sub? Mine has bose audio built in with a 2.5" subwoofer built in. O.o

Well again I'm not going for gaming.  I want it for the large hard drive space, great sound quality, and great audio quality.  If I get into gaming I will save up for a desktop later.

It's not like it's the first laptop to have a subwoofer, (Ex. Dell's Studio line's laptops) and furthermore Dre products have always been overpriced. Beats are overpriced, so then I'd assume that the 'magical Dre soundsystem' installed in that laptop is actually just hyped up cow stuff. I wouldn't buy it.

Cnet reviewed it well, and I got 300 off anyway.

HP's switchable graphics are stuff.  They require special ATI drivers that are never updated.  If you get that laptop, prepare for wild polygons everywhere.

:c

Is that for gaming only?

Yes.
PS and Premiere together would equal about the cost of the laptop already.

And isn't this the one with the subwoofer?

Yeah, it does.  That's the main reason why I am buying it.

Dr. Dre and his silly ideas.

It isn't silly, considering he is annoying Ike with PMs.

Sounds like you two had a bad break up.

The HP Envy 14 Beats is the new laptop I am looking at.  I'm expecting to use my next laptop for 5 or 6 years, so I am looking for a relatively powerful one.  I am going to do light gaming and whatever, and I need your opinion.  Enough of my babbling:

Specs:

Code: [Select]

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (I intend to switch to Ubuntu)
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-580M Dual Core Processor (2.66GHz, 3MB L3 Cache) with Turbo Boost up to 3.33GHz 
1GB ATI Mobility Radeon(TM) HD 5650 switchable graphics [HDMI]
6GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm) 
500GB 7200RPM Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection 
8 Cell Lithium Ion Battery (standard) - Up to 6.0 hours of battery life 
14.5" diagonal High Definition HP BrightView Infinity LED Display (1366x768) 

It has a nice red back lit keyboard


So now I ask for your opinion.  It is normally $1,399 but I found a coupon for $300 off so its now only $1,099.

Is it worth it?
Edit:  I forgot to mention it comes packaged with Adobe Photoshop and Premiere.

There's a difference between PMs and posts.

Rain has been PMing him those things, Ike did not PM them to you.

This topic is just a joke, showing that Ike's topic is relatively silly.

I am afraid of the following things:
Cats
Deep water
Birds

So, to my misfortune, I read posts from this guy every now and then, one telling me that he is in Holland, one about how he is 5'10", and that his name is Micheal, and things like this.

I may have seen him a few times, talked to him, I even know his brother Jimmy, but I haven't had any friendly-oriented conversations with Ike before, I hardly know the person, save that he's bright due to his posts.
