So after watching so many YouTubers play FTB Infinity, I really want to play that pack. Unfortunately, my laptop is going to crap and barely runs vanilla. So I'm looking for a new laptop, and I've narrowed it down to two laptops; though I am open to suggestions. The only other thing I really will need to use this laptop for is school work (papers galore for an English major), and I can be near an outlet if necessary. I'll give you guys the names of the laptops I'm considering, and I'll put the links up, but I understand that they won't show up till I'm approved. So it's between [Acer Laptop Aspire V3-572G-543S Intel Core i5 5200U (2.20GHz) 8GB Memory 1TB HDD FHD NVIDIA GeForce GT 840M 15.6" Windows 8.1] or
[Acer Laptop Aspire V5 V5-552P-X404 AMD A-Series A10-5757M (2.50GHz) 8GB Memory 1TB HDD AMD Radeon HD 8650G 15.6" Windows 8.1 64-Bit]

Here's the links to both: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834314807
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834314739

And then a link to comparison: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...#&percm=34-314-807:$$$$$$$;34-314-739:$$$$$$$

And then a link to the AMD vs Intel talk (that I can't make much sense of haha):http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/51...0-5757M_vs_Intel_Core_i5_Mobile_i5-5200U.html

You won't be running FTB very well on a laptop without dishing out 900+ dollars. Consider building a PC. And buying a chrome book for your college work.
