Hey everyone,
I have decided I am going to purchase a laptop, primarily for college purposes, but I definitely would like to do a little gaming. I know laptops apparently are not "ideal" for gaming, but I know there are some systems out there that do just fine.
Anyways, I am on a decent budget (500-700). Also, I am fairly uneducated when it comes to software, so purchasing a laptop is foreign to me.
I have found two systems that would seem like good deals for the price when evaluating the specs:
#1 - $650
ASUS G Series G60VX-RBBX05 NoteBook
Intel Core 2 Duo P7450(2.13GHz)
16"
4GB Memory DDR2 800
320GB
HDD 7200rpm DVD Super Multi
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M
1GB DDR3 VRAM
or
#2 - $650
ASUS K72 Series K72DR-X1 NoteBook
AMD Phenom II Triple-Core N830(2.1GHz)
17.3"
4GB Memory DDR3 1066
500GB
HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470
1GB DDR3 VRAM
Both of these systems will do fine with most games that are currently out right now, right?
I am pretty sure #1 beats #2 fairly good, but #1 is "re-certified," which makes #2 fairly appealing.
Anyone know of these are good systems for the money? ASUS is a good brand, right? Both will run games fairly good?
Any and all advice/input/feedback/suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Thanks and happy holidays
