In the high-end of single GPU setups, look for a 7970m or GTX680m. That's honestly all I can tell you without you specifying more about the laptop.

Well, the i7 supports some more "features" like other instruction sets. Go on Intel's page for both processors and they will list features.

If you buy a Envy 17 from the HP store the GPU is a 7850m, which is a big step up from the 7690m.

I honestly would recommend the i7, especially for just $70 (HP made me pay $110 more), not only does it have double the cores but it also turbos far higher than the dual core, so even single/dual threaded applications will see benefit. I think Starcraft II/SupCom II can use multi-cores in the...

The 7670m is a big step up from the Intel HD graphics, so for gaming the 2nd one would definitely be better.

You should look at HP's Envy 17. Very high end TN display (not IPS, but far better than most TN's), 1080p. AMD 7850M is a little faster than a GTX660m. I recommend the i7-3610m (the cheapest i7). 6GB DDR3 1600Mhz base RAM. 2 HDD bays (can get SSD + HDD, or Hybrid HDD). Very good speaker setup...

I see, can you elaborate on the 7850M's performance a bit more? Notebookcheck is giving me some weird percentages in performance.

I found a coupon for the Envy 17, and after looking at the specs (CPU, GPU, etc) and build quality (screen, audio, build) I decided to buy one. Now I'm having a bit of buyer's anxiety, :lol: . So I got the following: i7-3610QM (quad core, 2.3GHz base, Ivy Bridge) Radeon 7850m 6GB RAM (2...

MegaMookThe problem with MHL is that you can't use both the USB functions (using a USB OTG cable you can connect mice/keyboards/flash drives) and the HDMI functions. With Motorola phones you can do this (as it has two ports, HDMI and USB). So I can, instead of carrying around a big bulky laptop...

Well, companies like HTC have historically been very facilitating of rooting.

Great, so now Apple will sew me for patents I didn't know they had.
