[dba-Tech] Notebook Asus K95VM Ci7-3610M or ... ?

Hi Jim --

I must note I have never had such a "computing power" at my disposal.
I have got it purchased yesterday, and I have immediately ordered its upgrade directly in the shop:

- 12GB RAM;
- 256GB SSD 
- Windows 8 Professional.

Total price is currently around USD1800, including work on hardware upgrade and Win8 setup.

They called me today - there are some issues with SSD, they ordered another one for tomorrow. I hope to get the subject "toy" home on Tuesday.
We will see...

Thank you.

That laptop is more powerful than most of my servers so it should be more

Hi Jim --

I have finally decided to purchase Asus N76VZ notebook

(90NAJC552W2384VD13AY). - ~USD1500 here.

which have mostly good reviews.

The difference is that 90NAJC552W2384VD13AY model has

- two 1TB 5400 rpm HDDs and the one from Amazon referenced above has only

one 1TB 7200 rpm HDD.

If that notebook would have had:

- 1SSD (128+GB);

- 1HDD - 1TB 7200rpm;

- 16GB RAM and
>
- Win8 Prof.

That would have been almost "ideal notebook" for my current work context I

suppose.

I'm still to check if Asus N76VZ is able to handle 16GB or not, some sources

tell it can, the others - it cannot.

I have ordered today the actual 16GB memory check in the shop where I plan

to purchase the N76VZ noteboook - the test is planned for this Saturday when

two 8GB memory modules will arrive...

Thank you.

That's good that you have narrowed it down to the specific model you need.
