  1. Alright, let's take a quick look at the TPP-IP. First of all, this document seems to be beefing up the ability of Companies to enforce Copyright. One of the Purposes of the TPP-IP is

     

    "To maintain a balance between the rights of intellectual property holders and the legitimate interests of users and the community in subject matter protected by intellectual property"

     

    In Layman's Terms: To keep a balance between the Company, and the person(s) using their Products.

     

    Also, as everyone knows, if you're not making money off of another Companies Product, then the Companies Usually don't care.

     

    In short, The TPP-IP Agreement won't affect your ability to Cosplay, as long as you aren't making money while doing it.

    I like how people are ignoring this post. Something like this would never come to fruition or enforcement anyway.

  2. The OP mentioned himself that he has a gaming laptop with a dedicated GPU. Therefore it would be more fitting for him to go with the 1st option he posted with the GT 840M (though at the end it's his decision to make, regardless of what we may suggest).

    Well I have a gaming desktop, that didn't stop me from trying out a laptop with no dedicated GPU (didn't work out so well in the end -.-). So maybe getting the one with the 840M would be more worth it.

  3. Did anyone notice my posts about there being no real major differences between the i5 and i7 in those laptops besides cache, base and boost clock speeds??? For all intents and purposes, the i7-4510U is an i5-4210U with 1MB more cache and a 300MHz faster base clock with a 400MHz faster boost clock. That's basically it. You won't be getting anything much else by going to an i7-4510U. Really, the most important question is if the OP needs the GPU or not. It'll be limited to PCIe 2.0 12x speeds anyway because neither CPU supports more than 12 PCIe 2.0 lanes.

  4. I see that both of them have ultrabook/low-power CPUs (the U at the end of the CPU model number indicates that.) Therefore, there's not much different between the Core i5 and i7 in these aside from a slightly higher base and boost clock and some more cache on the i7. Others will differ, of course (like desktop i5s are quad-cores with no Hyperthreading while desktop i7s are quad-cores with Hyperthreading), but both CPUs are dual-core with Hyperthreading so the only real differences between the two are the cache and clock speeds ¯\(ツ)/¯

     

    Do you need a GPU for your work? Or will the standard Intel HD Graphics work fine?
