Hey there, So Christmas is around the corner and I have slowly drawn up two possible laptop choices to get, though I really cant choose between these two, want some of your opinions if you'd be so kind Looking to buy Warhammer Online Age Of Reckoning and I Photoshop quite alot, also in terms of good for their price and what not. Im not to knowledgeable so I come for your help,,, Option 1 G50V-A1 T9400 2.53Ghz 1066 FSB 6MB Intel PM45 Chipset 4GB DDR2 800Mhz Ram (2Gx2) 15.4” WSXGA+ 1680x1050 glossy screen nVidia GeForce 9700M GT 512MB GDDR3 500 GB 5400 rpm SATA ( 250 GB X2) DVDRW Super Multi Intel WiFi Link 5100 a/g/n 2.0 Mega Pixel Integrated Webcam 6 Cell Battery Windows Vista Home Premium x64 Bluetooth 2.0 Cost: $3,100 (Singapore Dollars) OR Option 2 Core 2 Duo P7350 2.0GHz Processor Up to 4GB RAM 320GB Hard drive DVD Super Multi writer Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT Graphics card 16-inch display screen Windows Vista Home Premium Weight 3.5kg Wireless 802.11a/b/g/n Webcam Price: $2,400 (Singapore Dollars) What ya think?
option 2 they're both basically the same performance wise(9700m isn't that much faster than a 9600m FYI) but option 2 is cheaper
ehm yes, the gfx card isnt that much of an improvement, but the cpu and the ram ist. if you have the money i'd go for the first one, but i'd never buy a laptop for that kind of mony. they stop getting mobile at some point, making the whole point of it being a laptop idiocy. get a desktop computer for a better price with waaay better performance and a cheap trip for your odd hour where you actually need a small, handy and mobile solution!
Option 2. Most laptops are mainly for school work and web surfing, and Photoshop (basically) They aren't hardcore gaming.
Personally i would go for option 2, but really its up to you to decide as you will be using it for whatever reason
