Hi everyone,
Need some advise on a laptop for my wife. She wants to use it for games, but really only plays a few like World of Warcraft and some flash type games. We are looking at a Sony VPCEC490X configurable laptop, but not sure if the i7 will be worth the extra $250 for a game like WoW. The reason for the Sony laptop over any of the others is mostly the keyboard layout as she really likes the bigger arrow keys and most of the laptops that promote themselves as gaming laptops have really small arrow keys.
The video card I have decided on for it is the ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5650 GPU (1GB VRAM) compared to the ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5470 GPU (512MB VRAM).
The 3 processors I can choose from are:
Intel® Core™ i5-480M processor (2.66GHz) with Turbo Boost up to 2.93GHz
Intel® Core™ i5-580M processor (2.66GHz) with Turbo Boost up to 3.33GHz
Intel® Core™ i7-640M processor (2.80GHz) with Turbo Boost up to 3.46GHz
Thanks
