If you had to get either of these, I'd say the top one mostly because of the processsor.

You're better off with a desktop for gaming though. Laptops aren't meant for gaming, but for portability. An equivalent desktop would be worth a half if not a quarter of the price.

Yes I have to have a laptop, cant pack a desktop from job to job. So you think the dual core processor is better than the new i7 quad? How about the video cards 5870 is shittier than two 260's?

 

[kureme]

It's not dual core vs quad, its 3.5ghz dual core vs 1.6ghz quad/~2.4ghz dual/2.8ghz single. Hyperthreading doesn't help much with such low clock speeds.

The 5870 is roughly equivalent to dual GTX 260s. Maybe only slightly better but not enough to warrant getting the second one over the first one.

the second is better in my opinion as core 2 duo at 3 ghz isnt evn equl to a i7 at those speeds
