4.12 development update discussion and feedback

[nic727]

I know, but I will certainly buy another laptop at the end of the year. What do you think about this one? http://www.dell.com/ca/p/inspiron-17r-se-7720/pd with Nvidia GeForce GT 650M 2GB

or a 15r special edition with Radeon™ HD 7730M 2GB

What is the best choice?

Best choice is to build a tower, any reason to restrict yourself to a laptop?

I dont have too much space and a laptop is really nice and usefull.

A mini-tower isn't much bigger than a laptop and there are ways you can mount it below a desk (either directly underneath or attached to the legs). The monitor can be mounted on wall. There are also racks to mount a mini-tower directly behind the monitor, which is another way of saving space.

At the very least, get a full keyboard to attach to your laptop (along with a graphics card which can support perfect mode).

I can see where this is going, considering the types he mentioned...

From this benchmark list: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-...ist.844.0.html

The GT 650M is quite a bit faster in their benchmark. Benchmarks aren't always indicative of real world but it's close enough. The dedicated mobile graphics card isn't going to be as good as a comparable desktop level card... but given that space and mobility are useful to you. That Dell with the 650M would be a fair bit better than the Intel HD and it supports graphical standards that IL-2 would work with better than the Intel one. I don't see any reason why that wouldn't handle Perfect mode.
