Is this a good powerful laptop?

Intel core 2 duo T9600, 2.80GHz, 6MB cache,1066Mhz
NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GT 512Mb DDR3 Graphics
4GB DDR3 1066Mhz

it costs £1800

will i be able to play the latest games? is the processor powerful..so will it run the laptop very fast?

 

or this one:

Intel core 2 Duo P9500, 2.53GHz, 6MB cache,1066Mhz
Nvidia Geforce 9650M GT Graphics 1GB
Hi-res WSXGA+ 15.4" Screen
4GB DDR2 800Mhz

This one costs £1100

so £1000 cheaper.

be honest i do not want to pay less for something which is much slower.

is there a big difference between DDR2 and DDR3?

 

No, but there's a big difference between the graphics card in those laptops, and I mean big. Stick with the £1800 one, and remember to get an extended warranty for it - nvidia laptop graphics cards don't last very long before going bad, but sadly they are the only company that currently make gaming-grade laptop GPUs.

 

thank you for your response..because of you i changed my mind lol.

what do you think of this laptop?

bit more in my budget.

tell me everything you find bad and i will try and find something with better specs. but i like the way it looks too.

let me kno thanks

 

Er, you didn't post the link...

 

sorry

(also smaller the laptop the better)

 

9500M GS? That's outrageously expensive for the slow GPU in it, you can get 8800M GTX laptops for that sort of money...

 

agen thank you.

please could you provide me with some links?

thank you

now that is amazing!! ive seen that but it isnt very portable is it? it weights a whopping 3.8kg. im at uni. cant carry that around.

and is also 17".

is there nothing smaller?

 

There is, but you won't find powerful gaming laptops in the small 15" size as there's no room for the cooling system powerful graphics cards require. You either pay lots more and get midrange (at best) graphics or get a big laptop with powerful GPU in it - for reference I know someone with a 17" laptop, and yes it's big, hut it's easily portable.

 

ok how about something smaller with long battery life and not so powerful graphics? links?

 

Dell XPS M1530.

 

lol how the hell u kno all this u genius?

 

I don't, I research! lol. This is what Google's for, man!
As it happens I already know the XPS M1530 is a powerful, compact laptop as I've seen one in action.

 

i know bout google..ive got list of 25 laptops in front of me!!!

not only specs i have to take into consideration, its also the size.. battery life..weight and how it looks!

im thinkin if i give up the gaming tantrum and opt for something very fast and stylish:

Tough one eh? Pay £600 more than the Rock laptop which can play games well for a laptop that can barely play any games at all...

this looks very nice. what do you think with a 2.6ghz processor. whats the graphics card like?

 

Very poor, you won't be gaming with that laptop at all. That's with the upgrade to the 8400M GS. With the intel integrated graphics it's pointless even trying.

 

LOL

ok what about this one with the 3ghz processor?
whats the graphics card like? very limited info on internet for it!

surely this is very powerful..light and good battery!
