When I transferred to my new uni, it became VERY clear that my old laptop wouldn't survive Photoshop... or Maya. (I had used a Desktop mainly prior- never /needed/ a laptop before).

So I got a new computer! It's an Asus with Windows 8 (which isn't nearly as bad as I thought it'd be!)

- Quad Core Processor! (Intel i7)
- 24 GB Ram (wanted 32, but store didn't have the 16GB sticks at the time- I plan on upgrading later if it ever becomes necessary)
- NVIDIA Geforce GTX 860m Graphics Card
- SSD Drive in addition to a hard drive
- CD slot (this seems to be dying in laptops- I really wanted one)

Yes, it's a gaming computer- but it's really for my major! I swear! ='D Maya can kill computers. So can After Effects. I run both at the same time cause I'm crazy. Sometimes with Skype, Firefox, and PS open too.

I'm still trying to find out how to turn on the second fan on this thing. xD
