>AMD Radeon HD 8650G with 4206MB of dedicated system memory
That is either a) nonsense, b) something I've never heard of before (and I do try to stay on top of computing tech), or c) thinly veiled marketing speak for "the display chipset shares memory with the CPU", which is usually not good for performance.
Perhaps it's something new, where AMD's CPU and GPU are closely coupled.
I would be leery of any computer that sports only 100bT Eithernet.  Current systems usually use gigabit (1000bT) Ethernet.
Finally, AMD may make fine processors (they certainly make good GPUs) but I've always liked Intel brand.
If you can believe the specs, it will probably run Photoshop, but I wouldn't bet on good performance.  Is this model particularly affordable?

  • Will this laptop be able to run Team Fortress 2 and Portal 1 & 2?

    Im looking to see if it can run those games on medium/low settings. Thanks! 

    Hi DubstepParrot, 
    Good question!  I took a look over the laptop and also over the games and it would look like they may run, however I don't know how high of settings you may be able to achieve.  The specifications appear to meet the minimum requirements, which is why it's hard to say how far you can take the graphics.
    If you do purchase it, I'd certainly advise starting low and measuring your performance.  You can then work your way up to see if improvements to the settings allow you to continue to play successfully.
    Thanks so much!

  • System Requirements Confuse Me. Will This Laptop Run Premeire CS6?

    Hey, I know many people ask these questions but requirements/recomendations/technical specs have me second guessing myself. I know that no laptop is great for heavy video editing, but will this laptop run Premeire Pro CS6 for regular stuff?

    5400rpm hard drive is below the 7200rpm specification... so editing would be VERY slow and subject to "jerky" editing playback
    IF the laptop has a USB3 port (I don't see such mentioned) you could use a 7200rpm USB3 drive for your projects and video files
    External eSata or USB3 are both fast enough for video editing... http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1117813 - http://ppbm7.com/index.php/tweakers-page/84-disk-setup
    ONE possibility is this $47 USB3 dock with fan http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-SuperSpeed-Docking-Station-Cooling/dp/B0055PL2YI

  • Will this laptop support a sata hard drive?

    Running an HP Pavilion Model dv4-2145dx.
    Will this laptop support an internal 1T SATA Hard Drive?

    Yes as long as it is a 9.5 mm thick 2.5 inch wide drive. Some 1 TB 2.5" SATA drives are 12 mm and are designed primarily for Blade Servers, not laptops. This one will work:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152291
    The other problem is that 1 TB laptop drives are maximum 5400 rpm. I personally will not use anything but a 7200 rpm drive since they perform much better. I believe the biggest 7200 rpm drive you can get is a 750 gb.

  • Will this laptop suit my needs?

    Hi my current laptop is not powerful enough. It's a Toshiba Satellite P50-ABT2G22 http://www.pcworld.com/product/pg/1235609190/detail
    *Intel® Core™ i7-4700MQ Processor (6M Cache, up to 3.40 GHz)   
    *8GB DDR3L 1600MHz (4GB + 4GB)
    *1.0TB (5400rpm); Hybrid 8G Serial ATA hard disk drive  
    *2GB GDDR3 NVIDIA ® GeForce® GT 740M with Optimus™ Technology
    I make 1080p music videos with a lot of animation and heavy effects, which are usually around 6 minutes long. With my current laptop when about 2-3 minutes of the video is completed, RAM previews and updates in the composition monitor when changing things slow down to the point that i can't really finish the video. Each frame takes like 3 seconds to load. So i guess i need a new laptop.I'm pretty sold on MSI's Dominator pro 888, I just wanted to get some approval. Do you guys think this will get the job done? My only concern is that the processors are very similar. But with 4x more RAM, much better GPU, and the SSD, I'm hoping I'll be able to make my 6 minute, effects heavy, videos extremely smoothly, with no lag. What do you guys think?
    http://www.xoticpc.com/msi-gt70-dominatorpro888-p-6941.html?wconfigure=yes

    There is little way to forecast what will happen until someone tests it.  I just checked on this laptop and while I can overclock the GPU memory (GTX 765M) from 1000 MHz up to 1516 MHz and the results of our PPBM7 GPU assisted MPEG2.DVD test dropped from 78 seconds to to 57 seconds which is an appreciable improvement.  I think that on the GTX 880M they probably had to limit the power consumption for battery only usage to meet the laptop manufacturers specifications. 
    With this in mind and knowing that any real editing has to be done with the AC power brick all you will have to do is overclock the memory clock on the GTX 880M and you can boost the memory bandwidth accordingly.  It is a very easy operation.  I use EVGA's Precision X and here is what it looks like.
    Here is GPU-Z showing the operating memory clock now at 1516 MHz rather than the stock 1002 MHz and accordingly the new memory bandwidth is 97 GB/s rather than my normal specification of 64 GB/s.  If the GTX 880M has the same headroom for overclocking, you will be very happy with it.
    But even so check with Eric at ADK on their 8600HW or 8600TB because they are real experts on video editing and they do include lifetime tech support and can really fine tune the configuration.

  • Will this laptop run games ok?

    Hi, will the asus q200e 11.6"  touchscreen windows 8 laptop with a intel i3 processor run games like call of duty and battlefield, or should I look at the asus K series 15.6" laptop with a AMD 8 processor. I know the AMD is going to be better but I want a touch screen and my budget is $480. so basically I want to know if the q200e will run these game ok on the i3.

    The main problem you'll run into with laptops is going to be the GPU. Most laptops have an onboard graphics card due to space limitations, which is fine for normal computer use, but will really struggle when it comes to gaming.
    I understand wanting to have a computer that is portable and can cover multiple uses, but gaming is probably the top thing that drastically changes the computers you'll be looking it when it comes to uses for the computer.
    My suggestions, if you still want to go with a laptop, would be something online that has dedicated graphics. I'll actually check Best Buy for you and see if there are some reasonably priced gaming laptops. I'll post back later.

  • Will this laptop/tablet keep up with photoshop?

    I may buy a lenovo x201 tablet. 8g ram 2.13-GHz Intel Core i7-640LM
    I currently use a macbook pro which works well. But I would love to have this tablet to do any line art and things like that.
    My worry is I do not want the programs to lag or crash. I just want to make sure my machine can keep up with these powerful programs.
    Also If I do get this  I will use it solely for photoshop and illustrator. No other programs (besides maybe google chrome.)
    Will they run properly?
    Thanks!

    That machine will handle your Photoshop stuff just fine, but it's not what you want for fast turnover in FCP.

  • Will this work on a Mac running windows

    Hi,
    Once a year I have to enter various data through a web page which I log into. However, this only works on a windows. If I try logging in on my old and trusty mac it says that I cannot proceed because I am using an unsupported operating system and won't let me enter any details.
    Is it guaranteed that this web page would "work" assuming I install and boot up in windows XP and run internet explorer? (this is what I do on a PC (unsurprisingly) and it works)
    Thanks.

    Yes it will work as you have described above.

  • Will Macbook Air be sufficient to run Photoshop through Creative Cloud or do I need Macbook Pro?  Thank you!

    Hi there...
    I plan on buying a Macbook.  I really want the Macbook Air but people at Apple tell me I need the Macbook Pro to run Ps properly.  I plan on renting Ps monthly through Adobe Creative Cloud so Im not sure if this is the same and needs the same space as buying it and installing.
    Any advice is appreciated!  Thanks so much!
    L. 

    The top end MacBook Pro 15" (17" high res/anti-glare for full 1080 HD screen)  for mobile video needs with some restrictions and hinderances, you will need the Build to Order 7,200 RPM drive for sure as you need space and speed.
    You can have 8GB of RAM from Apple or place 16GB in yourself for a lot less than Apple charges for 8GB. However you need to be handy with tiny screws, or have a local specialist do the 16GB for you.
    Your probally better off with a MacPro than a MacBook Pro.
    The MacPro is more powerful, and easier to get inside and do things, lasts longer, more ports, more drives, more storage for video, fast external RAID 5 setups etc.
    So if you can get into a MacPro, that would be a better option for video.

  • How do I downgrade from Windows 8.1 to 7 and will my laptop function correctly after this?

    I bought my new laptop yesterday and unfortunately it came with Windows 8.1. I love that Microsoft innovates but I however dislike Windows 8/8.1. So I want to go back to Windows 7.
    The problem is: What are the steps to this? I still have an official Windows 7 CD. I read alot of things about backing up drivers? How do I do this? And will my laptop be able to run correctly when I install Windows 7? Considering this laptop might be made for Windows 8.1..
    Thanks!
    Edit: I have a HP 15-d050nd TouchSmart Notebook-PC

    ****Disclaimer*****
    HP doesn't recommend the installation of Windows 7 on a computer shipped with Windows 8, nor will it support the installation of Windows 7. HP will not provide Windows 7 drivers and suitable drivers may not be available for the hardware in the computer. Also, Windows 7 may not support some of the hardware or software features designed for the computer.
    Make sure you create your HP Recovery Discs or USB Flash Recovery media before modifying or changing ANYTHING.
    The screen shots below are from an HP 15t-j100 notebook computer... the options and configuration screens on your computer may differ.
    You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "BIOS Secure Boot configuration" on the settings page similar to what is shown below, before you can attempt to install Windows 7;
    After saving the changes, the computer will request that you confirm the changes... Accept the changes by typing the four digit code and pressing the "ENTER" key.
    If are you are installing from a USB stick and see a "Load Driver - a required CD/DVD drive device is missing" message, this is because "System Configuration" > "USB3.0 Config in Pre-Boot" is set to "Enabled". This must be set to "Auto". This should clear up the CD/DVD device missing.
    Additionally, as the hard drive is most likely partitioned as GPT, you must boot using the UEFI-Internal CD/DVD or UEFI-USB Key/Drive to install Windows on a GPT partitioned disk. Turn on or reboot the computer and tap "F9" or "ESC" and then "F9" when prompted. Highlight the UEFI boot source you are using and press "ENTER".
    I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best intallation experience. If you need Windows SP1, please see "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" to download and create your own Windows 7 SP1 disc. If the DVD refuses to boot as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (may require DISABLING "Fast Boot" in the BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid UEFI enabled USB Flash drive if it is formated as NTFS and may require a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer, or WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, as it has options for "GPT partition scheme for UEFI computer" and "FAT32".
    From the top...
    1)  Turn on the computer and immediately start tapping the "ESC" key.
    2)  When the MENU comes up, press the "F10" key.
    3)  Navigate the BIOS to "System Configuration", "USB 3.0 Config in Pre-OS" and set to "Auto".
    4)  Navigate the BIOS to  "System Configuration", "Boot Options" and set "Secure Boot" to "Disabled" and set "Legacy Support" to "Enabled".
    5)  Press "F10" and click "YES" to "Exit Saving Changes"
    6)  Computer should restart and display "Operating System Boot Mode Change"... type the four digit code and press "ENTER".
    7)  Let Windows 8 boot-up and place the Windows 7 SP1media in the DVD drive or USB port, then log-off / shutdown.
    8)  Turn on the computer and immediately start tapping the "ESC" key.
    9)  When the MENU comes up, press the "F9" key and then select the correct UEFI boot source (Internal CD/DVD drive, USB CD/DVD drive, USB Flash drive, etc.)... Press any key to boot CD/DVD, if prompted.
    10)  Select "Language", "Time / Currency", and "Keyboard" settings and then click "Next"
    11)  Click "Install Now"... check "Accept Terms" and click "Next". Click "Custom (Advanced)". 
    12)  You may need to supply AMD SATA/RAID drivers at this time... Download AMD Chipset Drivers (Chipset / AHCI / USB 3.0)
    13)  "Where do you want to install Windows 7???" Select "Disk / Partition" with "Unallocated Space" you created earlier and click "Next".
    14)  Follow all prompts and answer as needed. Enter Windows 7 key when requested.
    15)  Please install the AMD Chipset Drivers and the drivers from the HP 15-d050nd TouchSmart Notebook PC Drivers page. Post the Windows Device Manager's "Hardware Ids" (just the text) for all remaining missing or unknown devices, as shown in the example below;
    If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

  • Can this laptop run After effects well?

    Hello,
    I have acer aspire 5742g laptop, i5 480m(max 2.93ghz), Geforce 540m, 6gb ram and slow 5400rpm HDD
    After effects runs quite slow if I do something more advanced so I think its time for upgrade.
    I found this quite cheap for specs it provides
    Asus N56JR
    Intel® Core™ i7-4700HQ Processor (6 MB Cache, 2.4 Ghz)
    8 GB DDR3 - 1600 MHz
    GeForce GTX 760M GDDR5 2GB
    1TB HDD 5400RPM(I will buy ssd later)
    Notebooks & Ultrabooks - N56JR - ASUS
    Will this laptop be able to handle after effects good enough?

    That would be better but you could use a bunch more ram. After Effects is a professional app with tons of capabilities. The more complex the project the higher the demands are on the system. If you want AE to run quickly when you work on extremely complex projects and you want to run on a laptop then you need a professional workstation grade laptop not a consumer model. Dell and HP make them, Apple makes the MacBookPro R which becomes a workstation grade laptop when you max it out. Simply put, buy the most powerful laptop with the most memory you can afford, make sure the company provides excellent customer service and get a long warrantee - or take your chances with a consumer grade laptop.

    If you are intending using your hot spot to download movies for the Apple TV, you'll very quickly eat through your data allowance.

    I am considering an IPhone5 which I want to "tether" to my laptop and Ipad. Does anyone know which network works best. TMobile tell me that they will only tether upto 1GB of data, will this be sufficient?

    I have the AT&T family plan for use with my laptop, iPhone an iPad with 6GB per month. I tend to use the tethering far more often with the MacBook Pro than the iPad (mine has cellular) and I don't think I've had any month where 1 GB would have been sufficient for tethering. Do they have a plan where they will let you pay for additional tethering? If so I would go to at last 2 GB.
    Or look into AT&T.
