Hi everyone.

I'm torn between 2 options for laptops.

One has a P8700 2.53GHz processor coupled with a nVidia G120M 1Gb GPU.

The other one has a P7450 2.13GHz processor with an ATi 4650 1Gb GPU.

Both are 14" laptops by Asus. Which one offers a better price to performance ratio? Of course, the one with the P8700 processor costs approx US$200 more.

Thanks.

Cheers

I'd say that you'll get the most bang for your buck by going with the one with the 4650 in it. I don't think that you'll see much of a difference between the two processors, but in terms of graphics, the 4650 provides for more performance.
