is it true that quad-core CPUs tend to get your laptop much hotter? I mean heat temperature.

Actually, I do have another choice. It comes with an i7-2630M (4 cores) but has a GT 540M gpu, which is weaker than the GT 555M.

Hey, I'm gonna buy a new laptop soon and it comes with an i5-2630M, 2 cores and 4 threads. With a NVIDIA GT 555M graphics card.

I plan on playing single player games like Resident Evil 5, Bioshock series or The Last Remnant and of course maybe some of the recently released games like Deus Ex: Human Revolution and TES V: Skyrim.

Is a dual core good enough for those games?

[QUOTE="ronvalencia"]@ Seconaid Are you planning to play games on your laptop near a wall power socket or not?

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

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.

What's an A6/A8 based laptop? Sorry I don't really know much of computer hardwares.

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. :)

Well, you've got no choice but to go with the Dual Core. Don't worry, you'll be fine with it. Just don't expect new games to look very good.

Yes and all of us have the type of money you do so shutup anyway right now i have a p4 but very badly need to upgrade what should i get i only have R1000 witch here SA is not a lot of money.

champion331
Which country are you from anyway? You said SA, does that stands for Saudi Arabia? And by R1000, do you mean 1000 Riyals? Anyway, if you can afford an Intel i5 processor with a speed ranging from 2.20 - 2.60 ghz. That would be great.

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.
