Hi avforums
I wondered if you could help with a little dilemma, My 6yr old Asus K series laptop has finally reached the point of no return and i am looking for a replacement.
Originally i was looking at this one from PC specialist:
But have since found this one on Dabs:
zoostorm Storm-Force GT4
having never heard of Zoostorm i am a little curious about the quality.
Does anyone have any thoughts or advice on the above systems or a better idea? im looking in the £500-600 mark, gaming but mostly Minecraft, left for dead, portal 2 area but also Autocad, Photoshop work use. With a little bit of future proofing.
Many thanks in advance.
