Gt425 vs HD 5650???

[professornob]

hi, I'm looking for a moderate 700-1000 dollar priced rig, and I noticed that a great deal of the laptops offered either the 5650 or gt 425
my question is, which is better?
sorry I'm a noob, and by the way, I'll mostly be playing Starcraft 2

I'm looking at this

For $1000 you can build a much more powerful desktop computer.

that's the problem you see, i move around a lot, and need a laptop for me to play on the go

nice suggestion

hmm...
that is a choice, but i don't think that's very money-efficient when compared to a sager.
yeah the brand isn't as popular, but i think dell is kinda overpriced...
i would really perfer hp...
i don't think that will run starcraft 2 on high quality anyway...
am i seeing this right?
gt 330 is better than both of them!?
