Solved! Dv6tse vs Asus AS5745G. FIGHTTT!!!

[vuskeedoo]

So I finally got some cash to buy a laptop with but now I am in a major pickle. I've been eyeing this Acer Aspire AS5745G-3690 for quite some time from newegg now and also this HP DV6tse. My main use for the laptop would be anything and everything involving the internet, music, dvds, word processing, and a lot of Starcraft II. I want portability along with long battery life because I plan on bringing it everywhere I go like school and people's houses. This will be my first laptop, but I already have a desktop at home that is great.

My question is.....do you guys think it would be worth spending about $200++ dollars for.

Slightly faster processor. Turbo boost 2.93 > 2.63
RAM: 6 gigs > 4 gigs
HD: 7400RPM > 5400RPM
BATTERY: 9 cell > 6 cell
GFX: 5650 > GT 330m

Price over performance wise. What would be the best bang for the buck?

One more thing, anyone has had experience or read reviews on LENOVO Y560? The specs are pretty amazing for the price they are selling for. About $1k

To me it would be worth the extra money just for the 7200RPM hard drive and the extra battery life. The extra memory and graphics power will not hurt either.

The second one has a powerful VGA, more RAM and a faster HDD,the difference between the CPUs isn't noticeable.

Might even pick up a SSD for extending your batt. life a little more.
