Hi forum people,
I have a comparison question that I'm looking for help with...
I am about to buy a second hand HP Envy 17 2070nr laptop with the following specs (according to the seller), for $1100:
i7 2.6 Ghz - 3.2 Ghz CPU
16 Gigs Vengeance RAM
2 x 500 Gg 7200rpm HDD's in RAID 0
ATI 6850 1 Gig Graphics
My question is what kind of difference in performance can I expect to see, in terms of gaming especially, compared to my old desktop system. I would test myself but I've recently moved to Korea and left the desktop behind. Its specs are:
AMD X3 445 CPU
Gigabyte GA-M61p s3 Motherboard F7i BIOS
3 Gigs DDR2 800 RAM
ATI 5770 512 Mb Graphics
500 Gb Sata II 7200 rpm Seagate Barracuda HDD
Insight would really be appreciated!
