    First, I do know how to use the search bar. I've lurked many threads regarding my question, but would like to hear your responses. I'm planning on getting an AW in the next month or two and have kinda narrowed my choice down to m11x or m14x. My heart is definitely set on an AW. I know other brands cost less and I'm okay with that.

    I will be using the laptop for mainly one reason: Star Wars The Old Republic.

    I want to be able to play this particular game maxed out and flawlessly. I understand that these types of games are less demanding than say call of duty or something along those lines and SWTOR has pretty low minimum requirements as to accommodate more users.

    Any ideas what choices to go with in regards to the processor or anything. I saw a lot of r2 with the i3 core. Would that be a good choice considering my intended use?

    I'm trying to stay at <2,000 USD but dont want to spend a bunch of extra cash on bells and whistles that will be useless to me. I know very little about computers, so I come to you guys. The experts. Looking forward to your responses. Thanks for your time and help!
