Hello there Tom's Hardware,
I have been looking into purchasing a laptop for some time now, and you may have seen some of my posts about (several in laptops section and a couple in graphics cards etc) all about clarification. Now I have almost settled on one, just help me choose between these two:
G51JX-HD-SX232V ($1640)
CPU: Intel Core i7 720QM
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
RAM: 6GB DDR3
HDD: 500GB SATA
Graphic: Nvidia GTS360M 1GB Dedicated VGA
Screen: 15.6” Lcd Screen
* 2yrs World Wide Warranty * BT * DVD RW
* Wifi 11N * Webcam * HDMI * 6 Cell Batt
ASUS G53JW G53JW-HD-SX109V ($1800-1850)
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Intel Core i7 740QM Quad Core 1.73GHz Processor
Mobile Intel HM55 Express Chipset
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M, with 1.5GB GDDR5 VRAM
6GB DDR3 1066MHz Memory
500GB 7200rpm Drive (Upgradeable to up 512GB SSD)
DVD Super multi
15.6" WXGA+ Colourshine (1366x768)
* HDMI * 2 Mega Pixel Camera * 802.11n * Bluetooth * ESATA * Keyboard with Numberpad * Free Carry Case * Free Optical Mouse *
I may want the carry-bag but I think I will pop the mouse up on ebay if I get the G53.
I will be making music with Cubais, making movies with various tools, using Adobe Photoshop and Aftereffects and (of course) playing many games - Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2/Black Ops, Command & Conquor 4, StarCraft 2, Crysis, Fallout New Vegas etc
I understand that the G53's GTX460M is more powerful than the GTS360M and the free mouse is a gimmick for the extra $200 in price but, is it worth it? Also, the i7-740 is faster but the i7-720 is newer and has better cooling, Will I notice the difference?
What is this madness?!
