Option 2: $874.90

I'd go with the 1st Option. They're both decent, but your going to like the quality gaming you'll get with a Full HD screen, your frames per second might be slightly lower, but it is probably better.


May I know what are the exact models? I want to check to see if there are any known native issues to those laptops, I'm suspecting that there will be a heat issue, mainly because of HP's flawed dvX series cooling designs.

Try searching online for issues other people are having, see if there are any problems that might effect you, don't buy one if there are, you'd be better off getting something else.
