Looking to Buy A Laptop

AsteriskG — Sat, 16 Jan 2016 15:32:36 +0800

I'm looking to buy a new laptop.

Price Range: RM 2,000 - RM 6,000
Screen Size: 15 -17 inches

Storage: -Don't need excessive storage (i.e. 500 GB/ 1 TB HDD is a huge overkill), 200 GB of storage is more than enough
-Would favour SSD or a mix of SSD and HDD (i.e. 250GB HDD + 128GB SSD is a nice balance) but not necessary

Performance: handle games like Dota 2, StarCraft II with minimum 60 FPS and above
(hopefully, the average FPS is much higher around the 100-120 FPS range)

Miscellaneous: Would greatly favour a minimalist design. Clean, uncluttered laptop.
Heavy concerns with overheating, current dying MackBook Pro overheats to 70 80 odd Celsius for CPU and 60-70 for GPU at maximum performance
(The bottom of the laptop actually scalds my thighs when I rest the MBP on my legs)

Know any laptops that fit some of the criteria above?
Thanks

G's Amateur League

AsteriskG — Fri, 11 Oct 2013 04:18:26 +0800

PRELUDE
I've been going through a couple of forums recently and to my dismay, competitive exposures for the amateur level are few and far between. After some thought, I've decided that I'll take the initiative to start a league, an amateur league.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

G's Amateur League
Type: Online, Open
Format: Round Robin (Best of Twos)
Game Mode: Captain's Mode
Server Location: Singapore
Timeline: 2-3 weeks (depending on number of participants)
Registration Fee: 2 Treasure Keys

Admins: AsteriskB http://steamcommunity.com/id/AsteriskB (Organiser)
Silver721 http://steamcommunity.com/id/silver721
MaskedSatyr http://steamcommunity.com/id/MaskedSatyr

PRIZE DISTRIBUTION (tentatively)
1st place: 8 Treasure Keys
2nd place: 5 Treasure Keys
3rd place: 3 Treasure Keys

Before the commencement of each week of the league, the organiser will draw up the matchup for each team.
Teams will be notified as to who their opponents will be for the upcoming week.
Both team captains are to schedule the game and the match is to be played within the appointed week.
Substitutes are capped at 2 per game. The majority of the players are required to be the registered members.
How to contact opponent?
•Visit www.challonge.com/gamal
•Add up the appointed opponent's team captain to schedule a game

How to report result?
•Go to www.imgur.com and upload the screenshot of the end game scoreboard
•Post the link at the comment in the forum post
•Admins will verify and update the results based on the given proof.
