ASUS N55SF

- Intel Core i5-2430M @ 2.40 Ghz (2 CORES)

- 6 GB RAM

- NVIDIA GT 555M GDDR5 2GB VRAM

- Windows 7 Home Premium

- 640 GB HDD

- 14.0 Colorshine Display

ASUS A53SV

- Intel Core i7-2630QM @ 2.00 Ghz (4 CORES)

- 6 GB RAM

- NVIDIA GT 540M DDR3 2GB VRAM

- Windows 7 Home Premium

- 640 GB HDD

- 15.6 Display

The only big difference between the two is the processor and the video card.

Which of them is better for gaming? Need help ASAP. Thanks.

First as it has the better graphics card, the second one would be better for someone hoping to do rendering or a heavily cpu based task.

Thanks for the replies everyone. But am I going to be ok with the i5? I'm no heavy gamer by the way, I like playing single player games. I plan on playing games like Bioshock, The Last Remnant and Resident Evil 5. I know I'm kinda late at games but I haven't played those at all. :)

Have you seen many people doing that on a laptop?

Also, TC, I would recommend an A6 or A8 based laptop. Great performance, better battery life.

Tom's Hardware link

  • The power use in the above graph is a result of a controlled test on an external monitor, so we repeated this metric again, this time using the laptop's own display. The A8-3500M laptop lasted two hours and 12 minutes. Assuming the Intel laptop used the exact same battery, it would run for one hour and 22 minutes.

    This is very impressive. Not only does the A8-3500M get about twice as much time out of its battery, it does so while delivering far better graphics performance. The implications of this are profound: a Llano laptop user might be able to play a mainstream 3D game for an entire two-hour flight with decent frame rates, while the Intel Core i5-based platform would only last for half of the flight with choppy performance. There does, in fact, seem to be validity in AMD's excitement over its improved power story, and of course this is a real advantage when it comes to mobile devices.

I may use it as a desktop replacement for school projects and gaming.

For DTR, I would select ASUS N55SF .
