Getting a new laptop.

I'm looking at the specs of Dell studio laptops again and noticed that it's actually got integrated graphics card with a shared memory...meaning it's gunna be stealing RAM memory. You seemed to be looking for something that's really good. Why not go all out and find one in your budget with a dedicated video card? o_o Dedicated cards generally have its own set of memory it can use.


.....You never mentioned what else you were gunna use the laptop for to be requiring such specifications.

Edit: Toshibas..

The A70s are notorious for chronic overheating. The A200s intermittently decide they don't want to detect Wi-fi. The A210s decide to blank the screen whenever they feel like. Many Toshibas feel like creating an unbreakable startup password whenever they feel like it. We've had a lot of the newer white Toshibas show up with dead pixels all over the monitors. Many of those issues were later fixed with BIOS updates... but most people simply don't know about them.
