Here is my setup which will arrive about a month from now.
M17x R4
- 3rd generation Intel® Core™ i7-3630QM processor (6MB Cache, up to 3.4GHz w/Turbo Boost 2.0)
- 6GB (1 X 2GB, 1 X 4GB) DDR3 at 1600MHz
- 2GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 680M
- 750GB 7,200 RPM SATA 3Gb/s
- Slot-Loading Dual Layer Blu-ray Reader (BR-ROM, DVD+-RW, CD-RW)
- Killer™ Wireless-N 1103 a/g/n 3x3 MIMO for Gaming & Video and Bluetooth 4.0
- 17.3-inch WideHD+ 1600 x 900 60Hz WLED
- Stealth Black with Soft Touch Finish
When I went to purchase the 1920 x 1080 screen option wasn't available in the Canadian market. I even called and was unsuccessful getting that option filled as well. Is there a noticeable difference between the two that I will regret? Considering the resolution on my current laptop is 1440 x 900. For gaming it will be running FFXIV ARR when it is released in August.
Also I plan on upgrading the RAM to 8 GB should I go with Gskill or Corsair vengence?
Way later down the road I plan on getting a SSD....Kingston HyperX or Corsair Neutron 120GB?
What should I do right after unboxing? First time I have ever dropped 3K on a laptop and I want to do everything right the first time before I load all my shit onto it.
Much obliged,
Dave
