Title: How Would These Specs Run Bully?
Post by: Al Arlington on June 11, 2013, 12:16:56 PM: I know this is more of a tech question, but I only want to know for Bully only.

My birthday is coming up and I'm getting a new laptop, my parents have looked at some with me and we found this laptop

AMD E2-1800 processor
Windows 8
Memory: 6 GB
Hard drive: 750 GB
Graphics: AMD Radeonâ„¢ HD 7340
Touch screen: No

Â£300!

Or
IntelÂ® Coreâ„¢ i5-3337U processor
Windows 8
Memory: 4 GB
Hard drive: 750 GB
Touch screen: No
Graphics not specified on the Intel i5 Processor.

So which one would be better?

Also ignore Windows 8. Once I get my laptop, I'm installing Windows 7.

But why not build one yourself?

Also the HP Pavilon G6 [First laptop] is only Â£300! Quite cheap.

The laptop I'm getting has the following:
Intel Core i5/i7 Processor [2.6GHz/3GHz]
4GB/6GB RAM
500GB/750GB/1TB HDD
Intel HD Graphics 4000
Windows 8 Pro

I get to choose.

I checked on Game Debate and these are the results of all games I want to run:
GTA San Andreas: Highest settings [Issues running on Windows 8, I know a fix though]
Bully Scholarship Edition: Highest settings
Call of Duty: World at War: Highest settings
Call of Duty: Black Ops: Medium-High settings
GTA IV/TLAD/TBOGT: Medium Settings [Avoid HD mods if possible, Intel HD 4000 not offically supported.]
Team Fortress 2: Highest Settings
Minecraft: Highest settings

Post by: Al Arlington on July 15, 2013, 12:55:32 PM: I did install Windows 8 on this PC before. I got it for Christmas.

My own personal opinion.
Pros:
Very fast. A lot faster than Windows 7.
Can check your emails without going to IE9/Chrome/Firefox
Greeted with the latest news when you log in. [If you signed in with your Microsoft account]
Fantastic OS for tablets.

Cons:
Lack of start button
Compatibility issues with older games and programs. [Photoshop CS4 needs Win7 compatability and older games, such as GTA SA need a special DLL to run]
Crappy OS for non touch-screen desktop computers or laptops.
Very limited useage if you don't sign in with your Microsoft account. [I presume it's similar on Mac OS X but with iTunes and the Mac App Store]
Annoying text on the desktop. [Windows 8 Pro with Media Center]

Overall: 6.9 out of 10.
If your on a non touchscreen laptop or desktop computer, then I recommend sticking with Windows 7.
