Within the next month or so, I'm looking to purchase a laptop. I've had quite extensive experience with desktops, but this will be my first laptop. I'm heading off to University as of September, so I figure it'd be nice to have a computer that I can bring with me
Anyways, I've searched quite a bit, and narrowed it down to 3 that fit my criteria. I just can't seem to narrow it down further, so I'm looking for some advice.
1) ASUS K52F-A1
2) MSI CR620-033US
3) MSI CR620-031US
The first criteria I had was price; it had to be under $800 before taxes and whatnot. All three of these fit that. Next, it had to be moderately powerful. These are all running dual cores, and 4gb of DDR3.
As you can see, these are very similar, hence my problems deciding on a model. The CR620-033US appeals to me because of the BluRay Drive, but having a PS3, I'm not sure how much I'd use that. The K52F-A1 has the highest processor speed, but the CR620-031US has the Core i5 430m, which has the turbo feature, allowing it to clock from 2.26GHz to 2.53GHz.
Honestly, I just don't know where to go from here, and I'm just looking for some input. I'm wanting to get it from NCIX as I will be living in Vancouver, which is where NCIX is situated, so any warranty issues should they arise can easily be taken care of.
Thanks,
