Before today, I hated windows 8. I never actually used it, but it looked terrible. I was going to buy this laptop that I will most likely use for gaming at some point. [url=http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4904410&CatId=3998]This[/url] is the laptop. It isn't bad. I wanted to go for something with a GTX 670 rather than a 660, but budgets restrict. I've been delaying my purchase because of the fact that this ships with windows 8 and I've been told I may run into driver issues if I downgraded. After using windows 8 today, I was surprised. I like this. I don't know why, but I do. [b]TL;DR: Will I run into problems running games I do now on my XP/7 setups on windows 8? I play a lot of garry's mod. I don't know if all the moded content will work well on 8. Will it? Will most AAA titles be wonky on this setup? [/b] Sorry for the poor wording. Typing this up on the move. EDIT: fail link
