    Morning all.

    I'm putting in an order today, need your input on a couple of parts.

    Spec

    15.6" Matte Screen
    4700MQ
    8GB RAM
    256GB Samsung 830 SSD(My own)

    Now, the GPU and Wireless and giving me a headache.
    Is the 770m a decent card, what is it comparable too? Think the 780m is out of my budget :(
    Is the Killer 1102 as bad as people make out? I can go for the Intel 6300 instead and save £10?

    Thanks in advance.

    if the matte screen is the same as the previous P150EM then its one of the best screens ive used. very vibrant bright colours.

    the killer cards sure did suffer with driver problems for quite a while. still one or two reports of dropped signals but nothing like there used to be.
    ive got the 6235 with bluetooth and it works fine. if you dont want bluetooth then go for the 6300

    heres a list of the graphics cards so you can see what to expect from the 770 Mobile Graphics Cards - Benchmark List - NotebookCheck.net Tech

    Thanks for the reply.

    Just ordered mine with PWNPCs. Went for the 780m after reading that list. Felt the extra £235 would be worth it in the future. I like playing games at the highest settings where possible and believe the 780m will do just that.

    Now, the waiting game.

    No, I went with the stock Wireless Card. So I could justify the 780m a little more lol
    Will upgrade next month when I have more spare cash :)

    Spoke to Scott at PWN and he said I might get it Friday this week! Although more than likely going to be early next week.

    Really good communication with those guys. Recommend them, so far :)
