Hey /g/, first time poster here. I just picked this up for j

for gaming its not the best
you could of have built better for cheaper but since its prebuilt its ok since no hassle

It is not that bad. In terms of pure performance, you did not really overpay by much, maybe $50-$100.

The trouble will be later. Your PSU is low-end, your case is cramped, your mobo is low-end. The PC will last less than if you picked out better components, and upgrading will be more difficult.

>>59613763
Some games may need you to upgrade your GPU. Don't expect to run anything at max as it is.

Also nuke the fuck out of the hard drive. Install Windows fresh.

>>59613873
Not the best news but good to know I didn't overpay too much. PSU is power supply yeah? Noticed I plug in the power at the top but I always thought power supplys were at the bottom, hmmm.. Hopefully it won't be dead awful to upgrade.

>>59614032
Don't really need to run max, just solid 1080p and I'd be super satisfied. What do you mean by nuke hard drive, is there something wrong with it?

Thanks for the replies, don't mind my retardation.

>>59614125
Preinstalled bloatware, malware, and NSA stuff - not that it will do much good against the latter.

>>59613763
Buy an SSD, clean install Windows onto it.

>>59613873
> your mobo is low-end
In what sense? It's not z270 and doesn't have overkill vrm/audio - but it have everything needed and good build. No bad reviews (except one doa on newegg). So can you elaborate, please?
Also, his psu have 30 amps on combined 12v rails, so he can upgrade to 1080/m.2 ssd and have no problems to drive it (yes, nothing on quality of that psu, but still).

The specs are alright for the price. Where you got fucked was letting somebody else pick your components and now you're stuck with shitty brands that have to strike deals with companies to make sales.

Enjoy your chinkshit PSU/mobo exploding a week after warranty expires.

don't wanna start a new thread just to ask a question, but what would you suggest to be a good laptop now? i pretty much only use it for work (word/excel/pp, mail client, spss) and browsing the net, for anything else i have a desktop. 13 inches preferrable. Price and build quality are top priorities, don't really care about battery life

>>59616396
used x220 for sure.

So you desperately need hdmi for this tasks? Bluetooth 3.0 are integrated, reading must be hard.
>shit design
subjective
>costs a lot
sure, if you don't bother to look anywhere.

Move on and buy mba, you need it for sure.

>>59616483
how is HDMI not required for office work?

>>59616520
So your "work" monitor does have hdmi and don't have dp?

>>59616449
>no HDMI
display port
>no bluetooth
wrong
>shit design
plain black, doesn't get more professional
>pointing stick
the best input method ever invented
>costs a lot
you'd have to be a retard to spend more than $200 on it

I wouldn't get one for your requirements though. Screen resolution is too low. Get a used X250. These are reasonably cheap (around $500) and you can get them with a 1080p screen.

>>59616520
HDMI is outdated but if you haven't switched to Display Port for some reason, they're compatible with a passive adaptor. Or just get a docking station like every sane person with a business laptop.

You don't belong on a tech enthusiast board nigger. Get some consumer grade piece of shit and get on with your life.

asrock motherboard a pile of shit?

>>59617514
I have a palette of them in my store stock office that I'm staring at when I work in fear. They're not the best boards it's just MSI and asrock have such bad QC on mobos. Especially the bulk stuff they send us for powerspecs

>>59617440
Except they're not. They extend the footprint of the laptop by about 5cm to the left and 3cm to the top.

>>59617578
damn, I have an MSI z87-G43 board, only been 3 years but i guess it could die with the i5-4670k CPU at 4.6GHz 1.355v or 4.8GHz 1.46+v anytime in the future

You don't even own a display port monitor...

No.
