Seems very good for the price. Thanks a lot for the recommendation :)

Hum, I suppose it would be better to go with Win 8 as it's the most recent but I wouldn't mind that much either way. I'm still using Win 7 on my desktop and it's fine with me.

Yeah I heard about ultrabooks, but there specs and weight seem to vary pretty wildly between the different models. I know a few things about computers but not that much. That whole ultrabook thing sounds pretty confusing to me.

It might sound like a stupid or unusual question but I would like to know what are the lightest, yet somewhat high-performance laptop currently on the market. I'm a university student and I've been stuck with a bone disease for quite a few years now. It got to a point where carrying my current...

Yeah since I started shopping for these the Transformer models really stood out. I guess my last question would be how the 300 and 700 models compare to each others. Is going with a 700 only giving me more graphics horsepower or is there some obscure feature I might end up using that the 300...

Yes that's a point. While I really don't mind about spending a premium to have what I need, I also don't want to spend for no reason. If more money only brings me the potential to play desktop games well, I have a really powerful desktop PC here at home that I built myself. It's always nice to...

Well, while playing desktop games and applications on it would be a nice addition it's not such an important feature for me. The main concern remains the ability to efficiently work with it as my main device.

A little update on my tablet dilemma. It seems I was kind of mistaken on what tablets were actually able of doing properly. See, a few years ago I had a friend who purchased this awesome tablet PC. He used it to take notes in class and do some sketching, and it wrote really really well. I don't...

Yeah these Win 8 tablets are coming soon I think yes ? Anyway, I did some reading today and as far as I understand the options are rather limited. For Android there's : Asus Transformer (which was already recommended here), Nexus 7 and Samsung's Galaxy Tab. iOS : The obvious 3rd gen iPad Then...

No problem, I didn't really mention that I had to move around a lot in the first post. Plus, I really appreciate all the input I can get, it's always good to have different opinions :)

Yeah I thought about getting a good laptop in the first place but was faced with a rather ridiculous problem when I burrowed a friend's for a week : weight. While laptops are relatively lightweight for most people, I found out the hard way they were a bit too heavy for me to carry around. I...

I don't know if this is the right section for posting about tablets but whatever :P I'm a student who has been coping with a rather severe health problem for the last few years, and this thing isn't getting any better. It got to a point where I have to do most of my work and studies laying in...

Ok this might sound insanely noobish but I never actually installed a stock intel heatsink before. Actually never installed an intel processor at all :( I'm done with installing the heatsink the way I thought it was supposed to be done, but the whole thing seems insanely cheap and fragile to...

Just a little question real quick. These 3 grey lines I see under the heatsink, they're thermal paste I'm guessing ? I can use this one without applying new one ?

I just checked, they're 120mm fans which are screwed in there. It seems to me that this is going to work so I won't be ordering additional fans right, I'll just wait and hope they really do fit. Even then, in the unlikely event that they do not fit I'm wondering if I'm really gonna need 3...
