Acer Aspire AS5745G-7671 vs. HP Pavilion dv6

[TehDonutz]

Hello,I'm trying to decide on a laptop under $700 and I'm stuck between 2 right no, and I'm not sure which is better performance wise. I plan on moderate gaming, something like Fallout: New Vegas or MW2 level. Here are the 2 laptops' specs

HP Pavilion:

I plan on upgrading it to a Radeon 5650 card and leave the rest alone

Thanks for the help, and if you have any better suggestions for laptops, they are welcome. Thanks ^.^

Hello and welcome to the forums
Go with HP Pavilion but make sure you get the HD 5650M card(since it can be customized with 3 VGA's) because the other cards(GT 420M,HD 5470M) are low-end for gaming.

Thanks for your help 😀 Looking forward to getting it soon.

Donutz, I hope you haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Amazon and Newegg have that Acer Aspire AS5745G-7671 listed for 599.99 right now... part of their Black Friday deals (Amazon's price is a price match to Newegg's, I think).

At that price, I'd say the Acer is a steal.

Good luck!

Mike
