hi guys/girls
just about to place an order for a new laptop
im in korea at the moment and have found the local clevo reseller 'hansung' and am trying to decide between the following laptops:
all are 15" 1080p intel ivy bridge:
$555

i5-3210m - onboard gpu - 4gb ram - 500gb hdd
$657

i5-3210m - gt645m - 4gb ram - 500gb hdd
$703

i5-3210m - gt650m 1gb - 4gb ram - 500gb hdd
$777

i7-3630qm - gt645m - 4gb ram - 500gb hdd
$807
http/blog.danawa.com/prod/?section_m=NOTEBOOK&prod_c=1760710
i7-3630qm - 650m 1gb - 4gb ram - 500gb hdd
my uses are say 80% recreational (internet and movie watching), 10% photoshop, 10% battlefield3 (but gaming is not really that important unless the extra money spent on the gpu is a deal not to be missed).
i am wondering which laptop other people feels really stands out of the bunch for VALUE. i dont mind paying a little extra for performance, but this is to be mostly a home/travel notebook and i dont mind forgoing the ability to play battlefield3 if the basic notebook is a much better buy.
i will not be plugging in any huge displays, and even if i do occasionally play battlefield (again, ill only pay extra for the card if a bargain is really standing out of the bunch) - i dont mind playing on low settings with everything turned down (apart from mesh - gotta spot them nubz in the distance now!~
let me know what you guys think!
is the 650m really worth an extra $150?
is the 1gb version really that much lesser than the 2gb (gathering i wont be plugging in external displays)?
is it better to just bite the bullet and spend the extra $220 (50%) on the i7-3630qm and 650m 1gb?
many thanks!
