For my study next year I need a laptop. The uni I am going to offers me a HP 8530W laptop for a very good price, but it has a FX770M, which is a good card but it is a graphics application card.
Specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo T9600
4GB DDR2-800
250GB HDD 7200rpm
nVidia FX770M 512MB
1680x1050 screen resolution
Adding a 500GB 5400 rpm drive for storage
Total cost: 968 euro (879 euro without the added storage)
Now I have looked around on some retailer sites for other laptops and came across the Asus X57VN.
Specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo P8400
4GB RAM no idea if it is DDR2/DDR3
500GB HDD
nVidia GeForce 9650M GT
1280x800 screen resolution
Total Cost: 845 euro
Now this laptop is going to be used for gaming, surfing the web, listening to music, watching movies, schoolwork and alot of other random stuff, no specialised graphical applications or encoding etc.
Now my question is, which is the better choice and why so? As far as I know the FX770M outperforms the 9650M GT quite a bit in gaming even though it is not a consumers card. Am I right here?
