Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help to decide which one I should buy? I prefer gaming at high graphics with high fps. Can't decide over those two:

Asus N53SM:
- Intel Core i7-2670QM (2.2GHz, 6MB Cache)
- 8GB DDR3, 1333MHz
- NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M (2GB DDR3 VRAM)

Dell Inspiron 15R SE (7520):
- Intel Core i5-3210M (2.5-3.1Ghz Turbo Boost, 3MB)
- 8GB (2x4GB) 1600MHz DDR3
- 2GB AMD Radeon HD 7730M

I would like to hear your opinions about both of those notebooks. Thanks.

Neither will provide that.

If you are serious about hi res gaming at high fraps I recommend this:

My friend has one and it absolutely rocks. Very good cooling on such a high performance product.

That's an expensive one. Thanks for your reply, but between those two which would you consider better?

Per this thread it appears that the AMD HD 7730M is even stronger than a GT640. Actually sits between a GT640m and GT650m in terms of performance. The lower end GT600 series are actually GT500 cards rebranded.

Far as gaming in concerned there is no advantage of a Core I-7 over a Core I-5. Between these two notebooks the Core I-5 has the higher clock.

If you are getting this with gaming as the main intent I think the Dell Inspiron 15R SE (7520) is the winner.
