Laptop Shopping

As the wife requires a pc for basic productivity tasks (word processing, web surfing, emailing and managing her social media accounts), my aging i7-2600K based desktop will be moved to her studio.

The full specs of this trusty desktop are as follows:

Mainboard : ASUS P8Z68-V LX
Total Memory : 16GB DIMM DDR3 (4 x Kingston KHX1600C9D34GX 4GB DIMM DDR3 PC3-12800U DDR3-1600)
Monitor/Panel : SONY TV(1600x1200, 72.3")
Video Adapter : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (13CU 1664SP SM5.2 1.16GHz/1.5GHz, 1.8MB L2, 4GB 7GHz 256-bit, PCIe 2.00 x16)
Storage: WD Black (3 x 1TB, SATA300/600, 3.5", 7200rpm)
Network Adapter : Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller (Ethernet, 100Mbps)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Personal

 
Instead of replacing the above with another desktop, I've decided to go the laptop route instead as my primary gaming machine for the past 2.5 years has been the PS4.With that in mind, I will be looking for a laptop with the following:
  1. 7th Generation i5/i7;
  2. Keyboard with decent travel;
  3. Easy access to upgrade RAM and storage; and
  4. GTX 1050  for light gaming on the go.
Time to go shopping!

It’s finally here!

After reading this a couple days ago, I’ve been waiting for the update to come in and it’s here!

Let’s kick off Feb 2016 with a new purchase

After a few false starts and “teasers”, the Asus Zenwatch 2 is now officially available (as of 4 Feb 2016) at Asus stores nationwide.  As you can see from the box below, I picked up the “D Gun Metal with Dark Blue Leather Strap” and so far it has not disappointed. I’ll be providing more updates after I have spent more time with the watch. Technorati Tags: Wearable , Asus , Zenwatch 2 , Android Wear
