HP HDX 16 Vs ASUS G51VX

[ckumar]

Can you help me decide between the two laptops please

HP HDX 16
Core 2 P7350
16 inch 1080p ,
512MB NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT
4 GB RAM
320 GB (7200 RPM)
Bluray Rom

ASUS G51VX
Core 2 P7350
15.6 inch 1366 x768 LED
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M (1 GB)
320 GB (7200 RPM)

I will be mainly doing software development (RAM intensive) and video encoding.

Thanks for your help

How much RAM does the ASUS model have? if it's 4GB then u are not going to see a difference between them,because the main difference is VGA and that's important if u want to game

ASUS has 4gb as well but I am not going to play games.
its mainly for for video encoding and sofware development.

What about build quality and support?

If not gaming then save some $ and go for HP HDX 16,build quality of both laptops are good

What are the prices on each?

 

[Maziar]

I think the HP model is cheaper due to lower graphic card.

I'm inclined to think so too, but you can never tell with an Asus on the table.

If you are not super gamer I would recommend HP models ....
