Whats best?

[vnavah]

Hello, im looking in to buying one of two computers, Asus with 6650 radeon AMD A4 8GB RAM or a Toshiba with 6620G radeon A8 8GB RAM, wich one is the best (better)?

There isn't much difference between the 6650m and 6620G, but I'd go for the Toshiba with the A8, since Quad > Dual core.

i think you must go with the ASUS laptop as its all features are good

if u have a choice i say u to increase the ram to 6gb or 8gb
and no other game will lag in your laptop

dont forget to use windows 7 ultimate 32 or 64 bit

and enjoy......

If you are using it for games, then choose the A4 with 6650m for better GPU (hybrid Xfire). Most games are GPU limited.

Not sure, but is the 6650M Dual graphic-ed? If it is I would go with the ASUS, if not, go with the Toshiba, Or also, you can get a laptop with a radeon card and low end intel processor, like i3-2330M, etc.

Thats what i thoght but the person selling me the Asus (6650m) told me that it has 1.5GB of dedicated graphic memory and the toshiba (6620G) only 512MB. On a side note, I havent heard of a Notebook with 1.5GB below $1.3k mark.

Ahh I see. Though it totally slipped my mind that games still do require a good GPU to get good performance...long day so excuse me.

But yes, as someone else stated here, dual graphics>A8 if you're using this machine mostly for gaming.

You can get a full gaming laptop with $1.3k (graphic power similar to desktop GTX550ti/GTX560 and 4 core i7)

if were talking about video memory, i seen this Acer Laptop at 2 gb video memory for 700$ when browsing laptops/notebooks earlier

There is absolutely no point in getting more graphic memory for mid-range laptop graphic card. Although that Acer laptop is good for that price range.

1GB VRAM at most (I agree).

ACER: very unreliable.

APU:
Don't expect too much for gaming on laptops at $700 or less. The APU's are incredibly cool and quiet so I do recommend them.

There are still several games that are fun to play on laptops. (Sam&Max, Angry Birds, many older games, Torchlight etc.)
