3850 mobility vs 4650 mobility

I'm not sure which of these laptops to choose from both are the same price, and the only difference I can see is the Screen & Video cards. The AMD cpu is a desktop cpu & the intel is a mobility one so I figure not much gain there. This will be my main computer for the next 3years.


The MSI book has 3 years warranty, 17" Screen + a better CPU.

The HP book has 1 year warranty 15.6" Screen + a better video card?

The biggest game ill be playing graphics wise is Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.

3D2005 Results
3850 scores around 9k
4650 scores just about 13k.

3850 = 320 Processors 256 bit Bus 580Mhz Core/shader 750Mhz Memory GDDR3 -- DX 10.1 SHader 4.1
4650 = 320 Processors 128 bit Bus 550Mhz Core/shader 800Mhz Memory GDDR3/DDR2/DDR3 - DX 10.1 SHader 4.1

If I can play CODMW2 with the MSI book I would rather the 17" + 3 year warranty, reason being is Ill be selling my desktop and buying the laptop with that money + a 500GB 7200 hard drive.

One other thing is I know that MSI supplies the windows XP drivers for the MSI book but the HP book from what I've searched is a bit of a problem doing.So that being considered vista on the 4650 might just bring its performance to that of the 3850 on XP.

Thanks again for your feedback guys.

^1st: You mentioned AMD vs Intel in your post, but both laptops you linked use AMD CPUs. Either way, the AMD CPUs in both laptops (The Turion X2) are mobile chips, not desktop.

2nd: The 4650 is the better card. Newer Core and slightly faster clocks. This series of cards from AMD/ATI (the HD 4000's that is) actually use the same core as the desktop version and are just underclocked slightly.

3rd: How much are you looking to spend?
