should I buy this one or the R5 version?

I don't exactly know what is the difference between G2 (that I own) and R5 version (May be R5 is a newer technology or not). However, the G2 has a max output of 180 and the R5 has 189. Other than that I have not really observed any difference when read the product specifications. All I can say is - two or three extra bucks will get you higher output (although the difference is subtle and probably you won't even notice by doing a side by side comparison).

Yeah it runs LoL fine, especially w/ a good graphics card, I wouldn't be running 20 programs at once while trying to play LoL, honestly ive had this for about 6 months but instead you should think about the FX8350, Im about to get it as well. its more money but its a investment and literally like 4x better than this

If you want to use 2.0 then I would buy one that is 2.0 and save a few dollars. This is faster and I would use 3.0 and get the better speeds, myself.

They are fundamentally the same, but R stands for retail. It has a few less features and a shorter warranty. Go for the version without the "R and you will get a 5 year warranty and some more useful control features. I bought 2 of this one, but Amazon has it direct for a little less, but they charge tax in CA. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/main/ref=olp_merch_name_9?ie=UTF8&asin;=B00G4CIG7M&isAmazonFulfilled;=1&seller;=A2CHZ585KZGNN0

No, it's all or nothing with the FX5. Get the FX6 if you need those controls.

Thanks! I appreciate the information. I'll probably buy the U100 (aren't lower numbers usually cheaper?), or maybe the Acer equivalent or even the Asus, though that seems to be a bit heavier. (I'd welcome opinions on the relative merits of these computers.)

Your video card will be most important. I had to upgrade from rhatheon 6480. Went to R9 270. You will need at least duo core and 8 gb memory

The only difference is 500GB of non SD - extra storage and 16GB of exrra RAM. The Qosmio's are known to over heat and my ASUS (so far) hasn't overheated after 8 hours of continuous game play. The system runs quiet too. Despite the the fact it's pretty heavy (though not too heavy), the laptop is a solid choice. Also, the Nvidia 880M (4GB) is a very very good card and you can't go wrong with that. I would have to look at the screen definition. However my ROG is HD and I assume the Samsung is too. Good luck with your purchase!

The one I received was an R3, so it should follow suit that you will get a R3 as well. However, as with most things in life, I in no way am making it a guarantee.

Yes, Btw R2 is only 64 bit https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=23514&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%20Server%202008%20%20R2*&DownloadType=

Both of these have similar TDP's and they use the same amount of volts, and this one uses the Richland vs the trinity architexture, but both are FM2. I think it comes down to preference. If you get this, you should have enough cores and clock speed to process games and whatever for 2-5 years, and if you're into upgrading in a year or so, the 750k will be awesome!

This comes with a built in intel HD 4600 graphics card. It is comparable to the GeForce GT 620m/630m. This is no where close to the quality of an R7.

I can only speak for the AMD Graphics Card version of this laptop. This laptop exceeds my expectation when it comes to games. With some graphics options twist you can get a really good experience and fps with your games. You won't be getting 60fps but a stable 30fps in a lot of games. You will see some lag if there is more going on but that quickly goes away. In regards to multimedia use this machine is a beast. You can do everything from gaming, movies, word-processing, and online use all at once, seriously. I do not know how the NVIDIA performs but I can say I am more than satisfied with how AMD's switchable graphics performs. I would recommend, if possible, to upgrade to a faster hard drive. I found that load times can take a little longer than you want them to but you will get used it. I would recommend looking at this version of the laptop which has a dedicated graphics card and may improve your gaming experience. http://www.amazon.com/Acer-Aspire-V5-552G-X414-15-6-inch-Laptop/dp/B00DKFFLMY/ref=pd_sim_pc_5

Ill be honest with you, the processor is great but i still cant find the way to put it into the new Dual Graphics System (Graphics Card +Gpu from APU) but i got 2 r9 270x in crossfire so i dont need it very much.But answering your question about if getting or not an A10 APU ill tell you, go for a FX instead, because if you got a graphics card dedicated you wont need the Apu GPU at all...

I use it for both of those games with no problems. Most important is to get plenty of memory and CPU power (i5 or better)

I don't have the r6 but the s4i are good the mic is good, but also you can check the senheiser cx 685, or the meelectronics for running. Those are better. The meelectronics for running are really good. But the klipsch are better in sound.

The i5 processor is a new version. Better but not noticable for normal application. Unless you plan on using your computerms for online games or an thing that requires very high processing ability yout would not notice a difference. An upgrade in ram would give a huge boost on noticeable seen in practical use though.. in any computer. :) hope that helps
