Mar 6, 2014Fishfam posted a message on Minecraft Movie?It sounds stupid, I think it'll be marketed more towards 6-12 year olds. One thing I hated about the LEGO Movie is that it was like one giant commercial for LEGO, plus it was cheesy to see something I used to enjoy turned into a movie. It's kinda embarrasing when people say "you used to like LEGO? Like the plastic bricks from that one movie made for 8 year olds?" I hope that the Minecraft movie doesn't have that kind of childish feel to it.Posted in: News

Okay, so I've tweaked my build a little, so now buying an ATX board is cost efficient.

Here's my situation. I'll state it now to avoid confusion and needless debates. The m-ITX mobo I would buy is cheaper than the ATX mobo I'd buy (by about $60USD). I'd like to make sure there's no major difference (other than size) between the mobo types, at least ones that would affect/hinder my gaming experience. (One thing I like is that there is a H87 Wi-Fi m-ITX mobo, whereas I'd have to buy a Z87 chipset to get an ATX mobo with Wi-Fi. Not overclocking, so the Z87 is a waste)
(I didn't know that, I think I was thinking of Gigabit Ethernet. It doesn't matter, as the whole reason I'm not using Ethernet is because my modem/router setup is in the ground floor living room, while my PC will be in my second story bedroom. My parents won't move the modem or router, so therefore no Ethernet for me.)

I can get a good H87 m-ITX mobo with 802.11ac for about the same price as a good H87 ATX mobo without wireless... Add Wi-Fi (I'm not going to use Ethernet, I have 802.11ac which, I believe, is faster than Ethernet) and it's another $60-$100...
(Sorry, converted the list to public)
So does a decent mini-ITX board (assuming "itx" was a typo).

(About my build: I'm not overclocking, nor using SLI. I know the case is big for a mini-ITX, I'd like the option to expand to ATX later.)

Yes, me. I like (preparing to be virtually slapped) the clean look of the Metro interface.
64 Bit, you'll need it to use 8GB of RAM.

The Sagers have worse/the same specs as the Alienware and Razer...
(Although the dual graphics cards are obviously better than the Razer's single 860M...)

Actually, it is true, and here's why:
The 13" MacBook Pro has Intel Iris Graphics, which are bottom-of-the-line. I've heard that support for integrated graphics is being dropped sometime this year by most modern games (and Minecraft) as new games demand more and more from the devices running them. Iris graphics are designed for things like web surfing and design, not heavy-duty gaming.
The Razer Blade has decent graphics, but it's not worth it for that price. I'd pay maybe (MAYBE, this is stretching it a bit) $900 for the Razer. And I'm willing to bet quite a bit of money that a hefty bit of the VRAM is for maintaining that 4K resolution, which leaves very little left for gaming.
Conclusion:
>Lightweight and portable laptop, sub-par graphics (i.e. Gaming is a no go)
>Heavy gaming powerhouse, future-proof
Pick one.
If the first, get a MacBook.
If the second, look at Alienware. You can get the highest end Alienware 14 for the same price as the Razer Blade. (http://m.dell.com/mt/www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-14/pd.aspx?mboxDisable=1&oc=dkcwg03s)
EDIT: OR, you could buy the HP 11 Chromebook (not for gaming, for portability) (http://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/devices/hp-chromebook-11/) and save $1,500 to spend on upgrading your existing PC. (What are your custom PC's specs?)

JSYK, neither of these laptops will max out very many modern games.
The Razer has a resolution of 1920x1080, it can display up to 4K on an external display. If you want to get a $2000+ laptop with specs like these, get a 15" Retina MacBook Pro with the NVIDIA graphics. A little trick, if you're using the laptop for education, use the Apple's education store to get something like $300 off the MBP.
OR, you could use that money to upgrade your existing computer for a lot less than $2000, then buy yourself a cheap(er) notebook...

Exactly. This whole thing could give MC a bad name.

While I prefer Intel, they are in no way "critical".
Proof that you'll be able to play with an AMD:

Optical drive = Where you put CD/DVD/Blue-Ray discs. (Not all optical drives have Blue-Ray, though)

I recommend this.
But seriously, there's not "23,000,000 minutes" lock in the code of iOS...

The PS4 itself is great, but there aren't enough games on it that aren't on the PS3 to justify buying it.
