Difference between two Processors

Raedeon Moblility = total fail.

I have a 900 dollar paperwieght called a Sony Vaio (aka Total fail) thats only a couple years old but fails to load anything graphical 2 years even before its time due that integrated hunk of junk. You can't upgrade it either. Its stuck there forever.

The HDD's are normally lower on lappys for battery life. If you are into photoshopping, or need mobile audio recording access then worry about 7200. 5400 is fine for light gaming.

I've still yet to see the laptop that can run next gen games for hours on end without eventually having heat issues. I recommend a fan unit to place it on when you are at home gaming. My other laptop gets hot enough to near burn me on the bottom if its pushed for a while.


As far as CPU issues mate you are talking about things that sound so descisive on paper but in practice mean 2-5% performance in various areas. Main thing right now is to get the fastest dual core you possibly can afford with something you can extend the life on. If you were shopping for a desk job then I'd be al ot more critical cause you have options to OC and what not and then those things start playing a more important role. Look for the total package that suits you best and don't base it off something that you would have to sit them side by side and perform 18 tests just to even notice. A lot of those differences don't really apply to gaming, but more to people like myself that are trying to render 4gigs of audio at once and such.
