| Got a call from my sister that I have not spoken to in ages. You guessed it, "My son needs a laptop for school, what should I get him?" She has no idea what he needs to run on it but does not want to spend more than $1000
I know he loves games so it will need some power in the graphics department.
Started with Dell as the first port of call
The Inspiron M501R and Inspiron M15R are both $948.99
Both have 500G HD, 15.6" screen, 4Gb RAM and Windows7
M501R AMD Turion II Dual-Core P520 (2.3GHz, 2M, 3.6GT/s), ATI Mobility Radeon HD 550V 1GB M15R Intel Core i3-330M (2,1GHz, 4 threads, 3M cache), ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 1GB
Which one is likely to have more grunt? Or what is a better option out there. He will be taking the laptop to school quite a bit. | |

| The lists I've seen seem to show the 5470 a cut above the 550V.
Guess I'll just do some searching around for a system compared to this 5470 one then.
From the website in Chooks GPU links. The Intel CPU comes in at position 52 in the list and the AMD comes in at position 81
So in KP's words, go Intel will be my thinking. | |
