    how is everyone doing , i am in need of a laptop soon , as my old desktop is junk..
    first off is i no there is more power in a desktop but i want a laptop for traveling, as battlefield 4
    is coming out , i decided i wanted a gaming laptop after tons of research i narrowed it down to the g75.
    so with that in mind , i found his

    ASUS ROG G75VW 3rd Gen i7, 16GB Ram, 1TB HD, GeForce 660M - Dartmouth Computers For Sale - Kijiji Dartmouth Canada.


    here are my questions
    1)will i be ok with the 660 gtx video card or should i find one with with the 670?
    2)is there a different laptop anyone would recommend ?
    3)will this play battle field 4 on the high settings?
    4)what is this worth used ?
    5)is it safe to be a used laptop off kijiji if i can save 700$?

    and yes i am going to see if i can get it cheaper then his asking price


    also found this but with only 12gb of ram

    1) The 660 is the same speed as the 560M and is the weakest x60 series GPU we have had for a bit, the 670M is much stronger.
    2) Head over to the what notebook should I buy but you could look out for a second hand MSI barebone (16F3) as they are also upgradable.
    3) Not enjoyably.
    4) Can't see the detailed specs any more.
    5) Without a warranty you could not really call it safe to buy second hand you have to know what to look out for.
