i have 2 laptops in mind, both acer except one is 15" 1280x800 with an 8600 gs graphics card +250gb hd and the other is 17" 1440x 900 with a 8400 gs graphics card in and 320gb hd. in every other aspect they are the same however i dont know which to choose. any opinions on which i should go for.
What processor and RAM do they have?Originally Posted by bigtone1234
I've used a 17" Acer and it only had a Sempron processor + 512MB Ram, very underpowered it was.
both 2gb ram and intel core 2 duo t7300
Go for the 15", it has a better GFx processor and a smaller screen so will handle games better.

This is bunny and friends. He is fed up waiting for everyone to help him out, and decided to help himself instead!
it would be easier to decide if the gfx card in the 15" was in the 17" :0
Depends what you're doing with it.
Assuming everything else is equal, get the 15" for games, the 17" for 2D work. The 8400M sucks.
8400 sucks. i failed to run portal on my office pc, even on minimum detail
Definitely the smaller unless you need the screen real estate - 17" laptops are so cumbersome - only be considered a DTR...

i'd say go with the smaller one, 17's are like previously mentioned, are usually DTR machine, as a result the battery life is usually horrid.
thanks all looks like the 15" one it is then p:
