13-14" for university - semi gaming

[mfj1985]

No budget here cause I am from Denmark and prices are alot different than in the US. I have found 2 laptops that cost the same for me in Denmark though, so might give u an idea of price range(cant afford more expensive)

Ok so I need a 13-14 " for University.

My priority list

Good screen - colours etc (dont care about resolution too much, i like macbook air/pro the ones with the old 1366x resolution is fine)
Good keyboard + if backlit
Able to game d3,fifa2013 etc on medium, and more demanding titles like bf3 on low.
Good quality materials

After some research I'm considering these 2.


Samsung chronos 7 14" (model number NP700Z3C-S02SE)

Intel Core i5-3210M 2,5GHz
6144 MB RAM (speed unknown)
750 GB 7200 rmp
14.0" TFT (1600x900) HD+, 300NITS antiglare
1GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M

and

Sony vaio s-series 13.3"

Intel® CoreTM i5-3230M, 2,6GHz
320 GB Serial ATA (5400 rpm)
4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3L-SDRAM
LCD 1600x900 premium
nvidia 640m LE 1gb


Note: I will probably buy ssd for either. Cost me exactly the same almost atm, both at different dicounts.

Which is better and why ? They seem kind of similar in performance, think sony might have slight edge? screen im not sure which is better ?(very important to me)
Build quality? etc.

Thanks in advance.

Anyone? Which would you prefer of the two and why ?

640m LE is more powerful. But crap HDD.

If you plan to put in a SSD go with the second one. It has better graphics and CPU.

Ya I plan on buying samsungs 840 ssd.

Any idea which screen is better btw?

 

[thomasf94]

Both screens are pretty close to the same.

The 840 is a good SSD.
