That`s Photoshop. You can find free tutorials online, however the program itself is not free. You might want to check out the GIMP (a free alternative) instead: http://www.gimp.org/

Oh, my goodness; get the Samsung -even IF it`s a few cents more!
You`ll soon know you`ve done the right thing: overlooked the Asus.

I`ve already gotten really good at programming with BASIC, but is there a different language i can use BESIDES ASSEMBLY.?

Chosen Answer:

You could try your hand at Axe, which is a (recently?) invented language by Kevin Horowitz (Quigibo).

Basically it`s a mashup of the TI-Basic language mixed in with some elements of z80 assembly. The results can be pretty neat, so check it out: http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/428/42813.html

StreamReader inputFile;
StreamWriter outputFile;
Console.WriteLine(“Enter the input file: “);
inputFile = File.OpenText(@Console.ReadLine());
Console.Write(“Enter the output file to save to: “);
outputFile = File.CreateText(@Console.ReadLine());

Is this how to get a file path from the console window? If not, how?

Thanks.

Definitely. The 7970m is currently the best mobile gpu (just ordered mine). Sagers np9170 is fantastic, well known for it`s upgrade capability as well as being very quiet despite having two fans. The 12gb at 1333mhz is excessive because you won`t see any noticeable improvement for gaming, if you can you should move to the 8gb 1600mhz. I think it is like $30 more. You will see around a 4% performance increase and it will give you the option to overclock in the future. I`d look into upgrading the stock thermal compound to the ic diamond compound.

Here is a link to a review of the ic diamond thermal compound:http://www.overclockerstech.com/ic-diamond-thermal-compound-review/

Essentially the ic diamond compound is better than the stock compound offered by xoticpc. The biggest downside of the ic diamond is its viscosity, which makes it very difficult to apply. However, this isn`t a problem for you because the guys at xotixpc are pros and will handle this for you. Of course I don`t know your budget, so i won`t make any suggestions here that would markedly increase the cost of the laptop. In summation your laptop will be a beast especially with the new ivy-bridge processor and the 7970m, it will be future proof for a while yet. I hope you found this helpful.

Also, here is a link discussing ram at different speeds and sizes: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/290611-30-ddr3-1600mhz-12gb-1333mhz
