how do i turn off mouse acceleration? HELP!!

[Tiger98]

i cant play anymore as good as i did because this PC running in WIN7 has this annoying mouse acceleration which i cant control, my mouse is a Razer Deathadder but in the software acceleration is turned off and when i use a cheap logitech mouse i still feel that acceleration, so hard to play FPS games.

Uhm no I think your WAY overvaluing it for a number of reasons. One it is used, so that cuts whatever value you think in half (the next owner has to take it without warranty, as is, and with no guarantees other than its 'works'; so with that much risk would YOU honestly pay for someones second hand computer then buy a new one?). Second you have broken key parts, so that means they need to pay for it out of pocket (or you going to fix it before selling?) so the costs to have a professional, plus the same parts (customized container for the drive, per model and manufacturer makes it expensive) would again reduce it by that value. Basically your looking at maybe $100-200 at the absolute most as someone could use it 'for parts' with another same exact model and get one working PC out of it to resell / hand off to their kid.

That said, if you want a Gaming Laptop, you have to pay serious money, because your taking higher performance level hardware (then what Grandma would us) to fit in a portable system and power by battery without only staying 'alive' for 15 min or so, and not weight 12-15Lbs (which they used to).

To pay for that will be around normally $2000USD. The top tier is i7, the next lower is i5 (like you have) or AMD Highest end CPUs (8xxx series). You would want a drive with 7200RPM, or better yet dual SSD and HDD so you get nearly INSTANT on and very very very low 'load times' of maps and such. Lastly you would want a separate video card not a Integrated Graphics only solution, on NVidia side minimum of a 670M to the 7xx series, on the AMD R7/R9, or if necessary a AMD 7xxx, but that is risky as those are hitting their 'end of life' now as well.

the laptop works fine all of the problems i listed are already fixed, battery is still showing up in vaio software as neat, everything is overpriced in my country so believe me ppl buy it at that price... i bought mine at Q11,000 which is $1375 oh & i bought it 2 yrs or less ago so... you get the idea. shure it wont go at 500 but sorry my mistake what i meant to say is i could get a ultrabook NOT meant for gaming but that can shure handle mid range class games, why? because i have the gaming PC at home and im under age so i dont win my own money. living under my dad so he will come up saying that i dont need it as for i have already a gaming PC, well but thats my problem. i already got the info i wanted here with u (seriously thanks) so ill see what can i do there. im not looking for an ASUS or Alienpriced laptop just something mid range which can handle games up to 2013. (<---- irony)

Right, which is why I suggested down to i5 paired with maybe a AMD 7XXX or a R7, or a NVidia 670 Min to 7xx being the last thing to pay for. Not meaning to get a beast machine but the demands now of 2013 games requires at LEAST a quad core CPU because the games use BOTH the CPU AND GPU now to function. That said, the A10 is a APU, a combo cpu/gpu used for LIGHT WEIGHT devices for 'computing' not gaming (think grandma surfing the web).

AMD cpus rate below a i3 Core which is a 'entry / low level' process for lightweight work. Then above that is i5/AMD HIGH end CPUs only. Then the king and still ruling is the i7 Core for the processor. Of course the 'low level' is cheap because everyone 'needs a pc' not a gaming machine, so that is what that is cheap and it works. Next level (mid) is for people casual gaming or using strong applications. Then if your into GAME PLAY (as kids normally are) OR you have serious work to do (video editing, audio mixing, etc.) then it is i7. That is it, there is no way or cheap exception.

wait, you mean a GTX670? woah thats powerful i even posted something about that http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1933656/gtx-660ti-gtx-760.html
yeah right i guess there is no "cheap gaming 2013 PC under $500" stuff...

I am running a 670M and that isn't powerful. A Titan is the most powerful card at the moment.. R9s are up there and so on.
