    What do you think? (New Laptop)

    Desktop is 4 years old and my laptop is 5 years old and I am at the point in my life where I just need to sit on one computer so I am going with a gaming laptop so I can bring everything with me. So here it is (I hope). I did a couple upgrades to the RAM and Hard Drive and dropped the data hard drive. I want this computer to be able to run just about anything on Ultra+ and be able to stream at least 720p on Twitch when I am able to connect to a router. Is that possible?

    Price: $1,617

    Monitor- 17.3 in. 1920x1080, LED back-lit

    CPU- Intel i7 4700MQ - 4x 2.4GHz/6MB L3 Cache

    GPU- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M 3GB GDDR5

    RAM- Kingston 16GB [8GB x 2] 1600MHz DDR3 SO-DIMM

    Hard Drive- 128 GB Corsair Force GS SSD


    Worth the money? Or can I find better for $1,600?

    get a bigger SSD, 256GB or even 512, also, you don't need 16GB of ram, 8GB is good for a laptop

    I figured 128GB would be enough as a primacy hard drive. I have an external hard drive for storing. You don't think having 16 GB would really help if I have multi games open and or streaming? Price seems negligible for double the RAM ($50).

    keep in mind that a laptop is not a desktop, you can come close, but you won't match desktop power and performance without going into the 5 digit range on price
