Hey all,
I know this is a stupid and subjective question, but my laptop is about to go down, and I'm looking to purchase a new gaming laptop in the near future. Quick specs are:
4700MQ processor
16GB RAM
240 Intel SSD/1TB 7200RPM HDD
etc.
I have heard that the Nvidia 800-series is coming out Q1 of 2014. I also understand that they'll be featuring a new Maxwell technology. So, my question is, how beneficial is this new technology? Should I wait a few more months to get a new laptop, or should I go ahead and pull the trigger? I know it seems like I'm asking a personal question on a forum, but I'm really just asking how big you think the 800-series chips will make a difference. I fully expect the 780M to remain a powerhouse for years to come, but if the 800-series are just THAT good, I may be stupid for buying a new comp now. What do you all think?
Thank you very much for your help!
