Okay, my laptop choice mainly concerns use for gaming and to do so I know i need a good graphics card and the 2 systems I can't decide from only have that factor in difference. I will explain. Laptop #1 Cost: Around $825 Specs: DISPLAY LCD: 15.4" Glossy WXGA TFT LCD Display Max: 1280x800 Pixels CPU: Mobile AMD Turion™64 X2 Dual-Core TL-56 CPU @ 1.8GHz 2x512KB L2 Cache 64-bit Low Voltage 33Watt MOTHERBOARD: NVIDIA C51MV + MCP51 Chipset Mainboard MEMORY: 2GB (2x1GB) PC5300 DDR2-667 SODIMM Memory (Corsair or Major Brand) VIDEO CARD: Built-in Mobility™ NVIDIA GeForce GO 7600 256MB PCI-Express X16 Video HARD DRIVE: 160GB 5400RPM SATA150 HARD DRIVE OPTICAL DRIVE: 8X DVD REWRITABLE DRIVE SOUND: BUILT-IN AC 97 SOUND Laptop #2 Cost: Around $690 Specs: Processor Brand: AMD Processor Type: Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core Hard Drive Size: 160GB System RAM: 2048 MB Laptop Screen Size: 15" Operating System: Vista Home Premium Display Type: 15.4" TFT Widescreen Display: Yes Max Resolution: 1280 x 800 ( WXGA ) Processor Multi-Core Technology: Dual-Core Processor: AMD Turion 64 X2 mobile technology TL-58 / 1.9 GHz Chipset Type: NVIDIA nForce 630M Cache Memory Type: L2 cache Installed Size: 1 MB Hard Drive:160 GB RAM Installed Size: 2 GB / 4 GB (max) Technology: DDR II SDRAM - 667 MHz Type: DVD±RW (±R DL) / DVD-RAM - integrated Read Speed: 24x (CD) / 8x (DVD±R) / 6x (DVD±R DL) Write Speed: 24x (CD) / 8x (DVD±R) / 4x (DVD±R DL) Video Graphics Processor / Vendor: NVIDIA GeForce 7000M TurboCache supporting 896MB ------------------------------------------------------ So basically (on a spec level) Laptop #2 would be the better choice and better on my wallet as well but I'm almost positive the NVIDIA GeForce 7000M isn't as good as the NVIDIA GeForce GO 7600 and I really wanna be able to play Crysis and COD4 mainly. Please let me know if Laptop 2 would be just as good as laptop 1's graphics card or if I should just stay with Laptop 1 to play these games. Thanks much.
if you want to play cod4 and crysis then i suggest spending a little more. try to find something with the mobile 8800gts. cod4 and crysis didn't play very well on my old 7600 and the mobile version is not as powerful.
