I am buying a laptop and my budget is $700. These are the two laptops that I have shortlisted:
Acer AS5742G-6600
CPU: Core i5-480m(2.66Ghz, 2.9Ghz turbo, 3MB cache)
GPU: GT 540M, 1 GB dedicated DDR3 VRAM
RAM: 4 GB DDR3
Acer AS5552G-7641
CPU: AMD Phenom II Quad Core N970(2.2Ghz, no turbo :( , 2MB cache)
GPU: ATI Raedon 6650M, 1GB dedicated DDR3 VRAM
RAM: 4 GB DDR3
I was wondering which laptop is better.
AMD Phenom II X4 sounds good as it is a quad core. But it lacks turbo and Level 3 cache. I duuno which proceesor will be better i5-480m or Phenom II X4 N970?
Also GT 540 is pretty much close to 6650M. Some game benchmarks of GT 540M are better, and in some 6650M is better. So I was wondering which is better and how much difference is between them.
Could anyone tell me which laptop is better and how much difference does it make?
