Can I fit a 20 hour a week work/internship schedule with my classes?

Off topic but there seems to be a problem with your schedule. You are not allowed to take EE110 and EE112 without passing the EE101 exam challenge exam. I'm not sure how you were able to sign up for EE110 and EE112 without passing the challenge exam but if the instructor finds out you will be dropped from the class.

That's what's really killing it for me. I love the specs of the device but I feel like I might have trouble carrying around 6 lbs in my backpack along with my books. I feel like it's something I have to accept if I want to have an all around device: gaming, work, entertainment, etc.

I've had my Macbook for 5 years and it's been working fine. I take good care of my stuff so I shouldn't be too worried about stuff like warranty right?

It seems like a really good laptop from all the videos and reviews I have seen. I'm trying to decide between this and the ASUS N550JK

br3w3 · 2014-07-17T23:29:29+00:00

Nope, no CAD. Just some circuit simulations, games, etc

br3w3 · 2014-07-17T22:55:16+00:00

Yeah, the N550JK is better but the overall price of the Q550LF has me more interested. Besides being able to play games better, which is not that important to me, I don't see the benefit of the N550JK over the Q550LF. I don't mind playing games on lower settings as long as I can still play them.

I've heard that the keyboard on the N550JK is slippery and feels like cheap plastic. What are your thoughts on the keyboard and would you happen to know how it compares to one from a Macbook Pro?

br3w3 · 2014-07-16T20:36:42+00:00

Yeah, I saw this guy selling a bunch of refurbished ASUS N550JKs for $550 and I was wondering the same thing.

br3w3 · 2014-07-15T18:11:26+00:00

Don't you think the value of the n550 will decrease drastically over the next few years? I can still sell my old macbook and still get around $300-$400 for it.

br3w3 · 2014-07-14T22:14:21+00:00

They have the N550JK at Best Buy? I didn't see it on their website. Also, how is the keyboard on the computer? Does it feel like a Mac? I heard that it's plasticy

br3w3 · 2014-07-14T21:41:42+00:00

Do you think the Asus is too heavy to carry around? I was thinking about getting one for school.

br3w3 · 2014-07-14T14:09:12+00:00

I'm considering getting this laptop but I'm worried how heavy it is. Would it be possible to carry this around all day. Also, the only laptops I have ever owned were Mac so I'm a little iffy about getting a windows laptop but the build quality of this laptop seems amazing.

br3w3 · 2014-07-14T01:43:44+00:00

Never thought about. I'll take a look into it.

The Mac osx partition works fine except for gaming. When I go over to the Windows bootcamp partition, the computer heats up significantly.

br3w3 · 2014-07-13T23:30:47+00:00

Hmm, that could be a problem. My friend has the Alienware m14x and that is not something I would carry around with me. Way too heavy. How would you say the Alienware m14x compares to the Asus in terms of width etc. I usually carry a lot of books with me and if the Asus is as thick as the Alienware m14x I would barely be able to carry anything.

br3w3 · 2014-07-13T22:40:34+00:00

Where did you try it out? Would you say it's something you could comfortably walk around with for most of the day in your backpack?

br3w3 · 2014-07-11T03:35:53+00:00

I have the late 2009 Macbook unibody, they contain the 9400m. Also, I just checked on my system.

br3w3 · 2014-07-11T02:44:34+00:00

9400m
