ibuypower vs. cyberpower laptops?

Well that's just it. Since I ordered it through AAFES (military store) I have no RMA process. In the first 15 days I simply tell them I don't want it and whether it's because it's not working properly or I don't like it, they issue a full refund and then their rep works the rest of it out with...

Cool. Well I installed two blizzard games, and now the geforce experience will not load, and windows keeps throwing up error messages when trying to run windows update and won't update critical updates... I'm thinking I shouldn't put up with this many issues with a brand new PC and return it...

After looking it over.... It actually has MSI on it... It appears MSI did in fact build it or at least played a major role in it's production.

Thank you for your response. Over all the build quality seems solid. The hinges are actually the most sturdy I've had on a laptop. I've had a few HP's, Gateway, Lenovo and the hinges on this laptop are much more solid than any of those. The keyboard surrounding area and palm are is all metal, so...

Ok. The new laptop is here. Initially I was let down. I has a dead pixel. When I loaded Windows the first time and was trying to install a game it gave a BSOD in about 10 minutes. I tried again and it would BSOD again after about 10 minutes of running. I tried to run windows update to see if...

Well Finally got a tracking number. It's due to be here Wednesday. Now just crossing my fingers the new 860m lives up to the hype and can play the few games I play at Max settings. The 128 bit bus kinda has me skeptical... I'm kinda curious if 2 gigs of vram is overkill for a 128 bit bus and not...

Ok, my understanding was that all laptops that had AMD solutions for the CPU was their apu's. Maybe that's why the A10 was used? Is it AMD's biggest mobile CPU and to keep price point down? I do not know that's why I'm asking. And from a "gaming" standpoint would you notice a difference between...

I also own a desktop nvidia gtx 660. The 775m out performs it... It outperformed my desktop gtx 760 in directx9 applications, but fell a little short of it's performance in directx11. This is prob because the 775m is on a 192 bit bus and the gtx 760 is on a 256 bit bus.... However I'm still...
