Hello,
I'm buying a laptop this week, I have the one I want already but can't decide which configuration is better. There is the i5 430M with ATI 5730 1gb with swatchable grafics and a 500gb 5200rpm drive, or for a $100 more an i7 720qm with same video card but no switchable grafics and hard drive s faster at 7200rpms.
Question, one will give me 3hrs battery life and one with switchable grafics and grafics off will give me 4 hours. Also the faster 7200rpm hard drive for the i7. Wjich is a better buy for the future.
I hardly do any games but do video editing for fun, and also my wife uses ingeneering programs that use a lot of cpu power.
Please give me your thoughts
