help me out right quick? im a bit confused.

I finished BL2 on Normal a.k.a playthrough 1.
is it okay for me to do the 4 DLCs (scarlett,torgue,tina,hammerlock) in Normal mode?

according to this reddit thread:
  • Captain Scarlett and her Pirate's Booty - levels 15 to 30
  • Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage - levels 15 to 30
  • Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt - levels 30 to 35
  • Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep - levels 30 to 35
im currently level 37, which means I can and should do them on Normal right?

after I finish up the 4 DLCs on Normal, I go through TVHM (playthrough 2) doing STORY MISSIONS only right?
After killing the last boss, playthrough 2.5 activates, scaling everything up to level 50.
at that point, I begin picking up side quests for rewards and shyt right? What about the 4 DLCs in playthrough 2.5, are they scaled to level 50 too?
So once I'm in playthrough 2.5, i can start the DLCs too?

once you beat it on normal mode you can play an entirely new story on True Vault Hunter Mode.
you will keep all of your powers and badass ranks...but you gotta open up all the maps and shyt again.
when you beat it on True Vault Hunter you open up Ultimate....keep your powers and badass rank but you gotta open up all the maps and shyt again.


get all of the badass achievements you can in normal mode.
i opened every single regular map in normal mode and grinded mad hard to get badass achievements in normal mode before i went to True Vault Hunter.



anyway...if you are at or above the level of the DLC you want to play then go for it.

the DLC games will start whatever mode you choose and will save separate from every other mode.

if you beat a DLC in normal and then go to play it it True Vault Hunter it will not recognize story progression from normal but it will recognize your level ups and badass rank.

Everything @Orbital-Fetus was correct.

However, I would personally wait on the DLC until you are on playthrough 2/2.5. It'll be too easy at your current level. You want it to scale up for loot and experience

Brehs I need your help. I'm not up on laptops, what is the best thing one could get out there for $1500? I'm not buying for myself and don't have tons of time to research.

I know that Samsung Ativ Book 9 Plus and MacBook Pro Retina are up there. However an optical drive may be a must so I'm out of my depth here.
Gaming wise, this:

It's clunky as shyt, but it will perform better than those other 2 (add the better display though).

If you just want something slick to web surf on or for productivity, go mac retina. You can get a USB optical drive for anything. It shouldn't be a concern
