You'll actually get Windows 8.1. Once you instal 8, you'll need an update.. it took like an hour or so (if I remember right). Enjoy.

Wireless n is great, but no substitute for a hard connection. I know for a fact, people believe they can play this on wireless. Those people are wrong.

Not only that.. get rid of the wireless mouse and keyboard. Bad gaming peripherals. :oldman:

I absolutely notice a difference, though others will swear by their wireless devices. If your laptop has an Ethernet port, you should definitely be utilizing that while gaming- even if it means picking up a 50 or 100' patch cable and running it across your house when you're playing.

I have like *never* played using an ethernet cable. For me it just depends which PC I am using and if family is streaming or downloading. Last night I played with 0 Lag.

I use a gaming laptop with wireless mouse and wifi. I suppose I could be Epic if I plug in. Noticed a very slow det throw /re throw compared to most, and I suspect wireless/wifi issues.
