Hi guys. So I am buying a gaming laptop mostly because I need the mobility and I already have a gaming desk top at home. I also realize that this is a pretty expensive laptop and I've come to grips with that haha.
Mostly what I wanted to know is 1. Will this be able to play all next gen games? 2. should i spend the extra 220$ on the i7 4900mq or leave it at the i7 4800mq? and 3. Would this laptop last me several years or will it become obsolete within a year or so? thanks for the answers in advance guys. Here are the specs of the computer.
Also one more thing a side note. I kinda feel like nividia will be releasing there new gpu's for laptop's soon like an 800m series that will make my 780m's obsolete Does anyone know if this will be happening?

Okay that is what I figured for question 2. I had herd the fps difference in games is only about 2 to 3 fps difference any how and for 220usd that doesn't seem worth it.
As for the yes to questions 3. Do you mean that it will become obsolete or will it last me the several years? Mostly I want to make sure that I will be able to play most any game that comes out on ultra and or High settings for the next few years. I understand it is still a laptop but from what I've read it can handle even the most demanding games at still above 45 to 50 fps on max settings. So even on just high settings would clear the 60 fps part.

Okay awesome that is what I was looking for. Not to mention I am pretty positive that when the new Nividia gpu's come out I can send in my Laptop and have them replaced making sure I stay current for quit a while. Thank you for your help.
