  1. Rarely play it but it does look nice: http://img.techpowerup.org/180409/rsz-a6-ultra.jpg
  2. You could buy that Dell laptop linked in post #4, it's a pretty good machine and is plenty for your needs.
  3. Still, it's not a laptop that's built for long gaming sessions in mind. More of a net surfer. The CPU is weak as was said before and it has no discrete GPU. For the money, I think you would be much better off buying a laptop like the one I linked. Better be safe than sorry.
  4. That looks bit of a netbook form of laptop because of the 11 inch display. I have a TabPro S that has a 12 inch screen and it's frankly pretty small. No discrete GPU and low resolution display too. The screen is an IPS however so it should look good. I'd look into something with an older quad core at least. Those Pentiums tend to lag, and I believe you will want more screen estate than 11 inches for reading Rocksmith.
  5. Well then yeah, you can indeed buy some cheap used laptop within the specs Rodman mentioned. Here is one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HP-Envy-Laptop-i7-Laptop-Sleeve-Carrier-Case-Bag-Willing-to-Trade/163137403427?hash=item25fbbf3a23:g:OZ0AAOSwHlRbN1B1 The 770M can handle Rocksmith and then so on if you want to play a bit more intensive stuff. It's 90 Pounds above your budget but maybe make him an offer.
  6. You still haven't told us what your budget is, and there is no ATi laptop from 2-4 years ago. ATi died over 10 years ago when AMD bought them, who even still says ATi for AMD that is beyond me... and honestly, you won't get far with a $300 laptop. I bought a Precision M6600 for $275, and that was about it. It's a well built machine with a workstation version of the 6970, and it sucks badly in games like PUBG or Siege. Those games are unplayable on it, however it would play RS without any issues I suppose. I wouldn't suggest that laptop as it's a workstation rather than a gaming machine. As for the rest, there will be 4GB RAM laptops that are kept in their original condition, you can always add another 4GB stick of DDR3. That's really cheap. Same goes for old CPUs, you can replace a dual core with a quad on the cheap. It's just the GPUs that cause a problem when replaced sometimes. MXM cards are hard to find and expensive.
  7. First of all, what is your budget and what are your expectations from the laptop? Any suggestion would be random without knowing those. Rocksmith doesn't require a high spec PC but that Stream notebook is indeed crappy. Don't buy the laptop linked in the second post either, it's a 2 gen old machine. I'd go with something like this MIN for AAA title gaming: https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Gaming-Laptop-G5587-5859BLK-PUS-Anti-Glare/dp/B07CD3MRZD/ref=sr_1_11?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1532460422&sr=1-11&refinements=p_36%3A2421890011%2Cp_n_feature_fourteen_browse-bin%3A2057441011
  8. This? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-WKOeZLfBE
  9. While Rocksmith might make some things easier, it certainly doesn't offer lots of "great tones". A real amp, tube or even transistor will offer you far more better tones than Rocksmith ever will... Rocksmith tones are pure trash.
  10. Well, it's just that no matter how good they get, at least, at this time and date, they just don't get to have the exact same warmth of tubes... that's sort of why I don't dig them. Just IMO though.
  11. You very well can expect one amp to get you from whatever you're thinking of to whatever other thing you're thinking of. Mesa, for example, offers some amps, rather large that can switch tubes for various such actions. There are also other ways like using EQs / processors with tube amps for that. Get yourself a nice Fender Super-Sonic 22W head or something, then stick it to something along the lines of a 1x12 Recto cab, Philip McKnight of KnowYourGear from YouTube has this setup and everybody agree that it kicks ass. I also own the 60W of that amp and it's a pretty nice product indeed, however I have mine stuck to a PRS Sweet 2x12 cab so I get more oomph, and I'm also planning to switch it for its 100W version in the future. I hate virtual / digital amplification.
  12. Ok then, look, does the rest of your setup live up to it? If it doesn't, then don't bother. If you do have a nice tube amp (which I doubted given that guitar you had before your current) and a nice cab etc.. then analog pedals might make more of a difference. Point is, you won't notice the difference too much inside the crap tones of a crappy setup.
  13. Not that it looks to be too big of an upgrade, you still should be pretty fine to go with that box. ;)
  14. Well, your Zoom effects box costs about as much as your Asian made Jackson... even if you had higher end gear, I still might not have suggested you to bother. The Zoom processor you have is decent, especially for your likely rather low end rig.
  15. You might want to use thinner strings as the poster above tried to mean, I use 8's on my Suhr but I wouldn't suggest them as they're too thin... 9 might be the way to go for you.
