Need brief advice before buying laptop

Hi all,

back here in Germany where everything is more expensive and less flexible, I'm hesitant about buying a new laptop because I'm unsure of a couple of things and need some advice. I'm pretty bad at technical things.

I had wanted to buy an Asus G75VW, but apparently you can't get them anymore (at least here), so I am looking at something similar. Here are some questions:

1. Are there any graphic cards that I really should avoid / really ought to have installed?

2. I really would like an SSD, at least for the operating system, but I have heard that Windows 8 (which I guess I'll need to get, since apparently no one offers 7 anymore) has some sort of problem with loading times and SSD which I do not understand. Is that true?

3. Any other last-minute tips?

Thanks so much

?

Hmm I would say : SSD + 6 G RAM. to open PoE quickly. ( even if i think that for each patch poe asks for a little more mhh )

For Graphic card and other stuff : i will not speak.

Why don't you try support forum ?
