    How stable are MocA adapters in terms of gaming?

    I plan on getting a pair of moca adapters to provide a lan connection to my gaming PC upstairs. I have TWC 100Mbps with my own Motorola SB6813 modem. I was wondering if these are suitable for gaming (for example, no random high latency spikes)

    choice between feature and power

    It depends on what you're going to be doing with the devices. As a movie watcher, I'd go with the Flex 2 for SSD booting, better video card and IPS display. For gaming, i7-4710MQ has the edge. As you already know, the Flex 2 looks nicer.

    Why is my fps so low with a decent computer

    The amazon link you sent us does not have the Radeon R5 Graphics. Are you sure your laptop has that?

    Why is my fps so low with a decent computer

    I would not call that a decent computer. For starters, the graphics are integrated. Second, CSGO is a CPU intensive game. That processor is not that great. You pay for what you get in a laptop. To get decent fps, increase your budget to $700

    Help with laptop upgrade

    I'd suggest a new setup all together for gaming. Assuming you have these specs : AMD Athlon™ II Dual-Core Mobile Processor P320, ATI Radeon HD 4250 graphics card you will have a hard time playing 2012+ titles Ideally, you'd want an i5 processor, 8gb of ram, and a class 2 or better GPU...

    Laptop ram (SODIMM) may differ from desktop ram (DIMM). You may use the harddrive/SSD and processor depending on the chip(most are M series) and if its soldiered on or not.
