Best graphics card for under $200?
Cynik replied to MyLifeIsTech's topic in General Desktops Discussion
I'm strongly considering picking up a 7870. Right now you get FC 3 Blood Dragon, Bioshock & Tomb Raider for free with this deal: HIS H787F2G2M Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card - Newegg.com My biggest concern would be that everyone is usually so negative about Radeon cards and Crossfire. However, this review shows you get a ton more value with the Radeons: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Review - Performance -
This is exactly how I feel. I actually like Win8 on my Y500 so much that I updated my 2 desktops. The speed and cleanliness of the UI is really the best part. The Metro start screen doesn't bother too much anymore. I actually tried using Win7 and the traditional start menu again recently and had a hard time getting used to it again.

Did you see a lot of improvement with the trackpad fix?

Need advice for gaming notebook
Cynik replied to cloudstrife's question in What Notebook Best Fits My Needs?
I also just bought a y500. It's an awesome laptop, good look and feel. I love the keyboard on it too! They have it on sale all the time, you can get a good one for as little as $850.
