Hey all, im looking at 2 laptops for gaming on this Christmas my budgets $500 and iv narrowed it down to these here:

This one has less RAM, a lesser CPU but an excellent GPU. It runs vista but that can be fixed .

This monster i really like but its out of stock now. 6gigs of ram an excellent CPU and a GPU nearly equal. The problem is im not entirely sure how fast the first laptops CPU is.

if it comes back in stock id really like the second one... unless anyone has a better laptop for 500-550?

According to this: http/www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Processors-Benchmarklist.2436.0.html

The A8-3500 is better than the P7350. This is true in terms of the graphics too. But I wouldn't vouch for an HP in terms of build quality, let alone a refurbished one.

Cant beat the price though, atleast not yet

If you dont mind about a hot laptop with poor plastic casing and not so great screen, HP is the deal!
After all you could have a super cooled room with laptop cooler, have external keyboard and mouse hooked up and enjoy the visual on your tv while you game

Good luck!
