Hi guys!
I am buying a laptop soon and would like to have you guys, the sifus and experts opinion on my selection as I am really noob in laptops.
1. Preferred Brand: Dell, HP, Toshiba, ASUS
2. Budget: 2k - 3.5k
3. Usage: FIFA 12, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, movies, music, surfing and some middle -end gaming ( more on studying and music actually but occasionally gaming)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14" - 15.6''
I actually have few options in mind. What u guys think of each?
1) ASUS
Intel® Core™ i5 2430M 2.4GHz + 8GB DDR3 RAM + 750GB 5400rpm + NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 555M 2GB DDR3 VRAM @ RM 2899 [ Audio : Bang & Olufsen]
2) TOSHIBA
Satellite P755-1003X
Intel® Core™ i7-2670QM 2.2 GHz + 4GB DDR3 SDRAM+ 750GB HDD (5400rpm) + 2GB NVIDIA GT 540M graphics with Optimus @ RM3299 [Audio: Harman Kardon]
3) HP
DV6-6001TX
Intel® Core™ i7-2630QM + 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 + 750 GB SATA (5400 rpm)+ AMD Radeon HD 6770M (1 GB DDR5) @ RM 3199 [Audio: Beats Sound System]
In general aspects, which is the recommended one? Does the audio really differs between each? how bout the battery life? Does i5 and i7 really make a difference ? I only play games once in a while.
one last question, laptop with i5 2.4 GHz faster or i7 2.2GHz faster?
thank you very much for your time and feedbacks!!!
With your budget, you could easily consider these two newer/better ones:
HP dv6-6c19TX, i7-2670QM + AMD HD7690M XT@RM3099[Beats]
MSI GE620DX-675, i7-2670QM + Nvidia GT635M + (1920x1080)@RM3499
