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.

Actually it looks like after searching even more now I'm probably going to pickup this laptop.

I was planning to spend $900-100 but then I considered that this laptop is going to be my only PC for the next 3-5 years so I shouldn't crap out considering I sold my last laptop for $700 & my desktop for $800 I have the money to spare.

That 9800M GTS score an amazing 16.5k on 3DMark05. The only down side to this laptop is I haven't found any drivers for XP I sent in an email to gateway so I'm waiting for a reply. Also not sure if they support Windows 7 drivers yet.

Really what I'm looking for is something 4650 or better, 7200RPM HD, 17" Monitor, DDR2 800Mhz.
