Hello all,
I am purchasing a HP Envy 17t (I really dislike HP, but my university is paying the bill and they have a contract with HP).
The two configurations I'm stuck between are:
CPU: Intel i7-4900MQ
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M Graphics with 2048MB of dedicated video memory
and
CPU: Intel i7-4702MQ
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M Graphics with 2048MB of dedicated video memory
I will be doing moderate gaming on this computer (mostly PC exclusives/classics, I have a console). My primary usage will be for research (calculations in Mathematica/Matlab).
Will the i7-4900MQ help out with the speed of the calculations and is it worth losing the GT 750M?
If you know of another good HP computer that has better specs, please tell me. The most I can spend is $2300.
This is my first post, so sorry for any mistakes.
