Laptop help which is better?

I'm buying a laptop in store south Australia, Adelaide.

My budget is $500 (I can't even spend 1 more dollar)

Which laptop is better?

The Acer aspire looks better but it doesn't have a dedicated graphic card. (I assume that's bad?) It also has a slightly lower benchmark compared to the lenovo.

I want a fast computer primarily for beginning in programming applications or basic games.

I may try to play some new game like skyrim online or some other intense game like bf3. I don't need to have that capability but it would be nice. I also want to run adobe stuff. Photoshop etc.

What PC or Laptop to buy?

I'm looking for something that'll run a few games well, fairly low requirements. Highest type of things will be like League of Legends or Sims 3 level. Along with, of course, a decent ability to use word >-> and all the other basic functions laptops are used for. Looking for over 2ghz processor speed, but I'm wondering if Duo core would be suitable, or if I should look for a triple or quad core. Considering three main options at the moment, but Ill likely talk to professionals and listen to their opinion before buying anything.

Currently I'm looking at;

Fujitsu Q702 Tablet/Laptop, i5 3427U 1.8 ghz, 3mb cache.4gb ram 128gb ssd. Graphics card "Intel HD Graphics 4000" For $250. (Not actually used, disregard source)

Lenovo G50-30 Laptop, Intel Pentium Quad Core N3540 2.16ghz, 2mb cache. 4gb ram 500 gb hdd. I don't know about the graphics card…

Alternatively, I was considering putting together my own desktop or laptop, with a couple of friends who work with computers. Is this option likely to be more affordable, and better suit my purposes? Also, is it likely Id be able to put together a decent laptop, or would I most likely be restricted to a desktop.

And what type of graphics card would I need?

Gaming laptop help needed?

I recently started computer gaming and bought myself an Asus Q550LF-BSI7T21. As I have begun playing more GPU and CPU demanding games (e.g. Far Cry, Crysis, etc.), I'm in the need for a more powerful machine as my 2 core (4 thread) i7 isn't cutting it. What I need help on here is I have an extremely horrible pickyness on screen quality. I do not like matte or poor colored *ahem Lenovo* screens. I was thinking sticking with MSI or Asus but I'm open. I know it's a lot to ask for and if you could help me out on this one it'd be great.

I appreciate it.

Can I replace my AMD CPU with Intel?

I wanted to ask if I could replace my AMD FX-8320 CPU with an intel core i5 or core i7(preferably core i5)

Specs of my PC:

16GB RAM
Amd radeon r7 200 series (1gb vram)
1 tb Hard drive
amd fx-8320 cpu

I hear that AMD processors put off a lot of heat, and I'm starting to believe that since I've had this PC for six months and it has heated my room up so much, as well as the CPU area getting Really hot.(even when I'm not playing a demanding game) Also, the PC is custom built.

I have a lenovo y50 laptop that has Intel and it works flawlessly. I contacted the guy who sold me the PC and am waiting for his response. I thought I could post here too, to find help.

If a intel can go in here, then does anybody know which model? Or do i have to wait for the guys response. I'm fine wither way.

Thanks. Sorry if I didn't give enough info, that's all I got.

What is the best touch screen laptop?

I asked this question before and all I got from the answers was Lenovo yoga. I checked it out and found it's not a high performance laptop. I need a touchscreen that has the true i7 and SSD speed and power. What I mean is for heavy work like gaming. I want to setup a kids game arena using high performance laptops. I don't care about price. And I won't hoi for another option apart from touch screen laptops.

I want something that is constantly used to perform VERY VERY VERY HEAVY TASKS.

THE YOGA 3 PRO REVIEWS SAYS LENOVO CAN'T!###
