also
how is the screen quality

also i can get the same specs for 20 percent less with i5 3210m and no blu ray
so sould i get it with the i5

Get the Lenovo Y500, but get the upgraded model with the GT750m instead of the 650m.

This one:

so a10 and 7670m will not compare to i7 and 650m

the samsung i mentioned earlier also has a gt 650m but with gddr3 instead of gddr5

also how does a full hd screen compare to 1600 x 900 of samsung

i come from a 1366x768 laptop

 

[ScrewySqrl]

the 7670 is roughly similar to a desktop 6570. the gtx 650M is similar to a desktop 630 or 640.

at 1366x768, the AMD A10 + 7670 will be as good s the i7 + 650M at just about anything.

The 650M actually crushes the A10+7670 in just about everything.

As for CPU intensive tasks, the A10 really isn't even in the same ballpark as the i7 3630QM.

 

[dragon199]

so as per notebook check a10 and 7670 are weaker

so only the samsung and lenovo remain

so how does a full hd compare to 1600x900 screen of samsung

also does gddr3 vs gddr5 650m significant

and also 3632qm of lenovo much slower than 3630qm of samsung

 

[ScrewySqrl]

the ddr5 will be a little faster.

1600x900 is HD, and in-between 720p and 1080p in actual resolution. 720p is 1366x768. 1080p is 1920x1080.

with similar hardware, 1600x900 will run higher fps, just because there are fewer pixels. but there's also less screen real estate.

what about movies will hd movies look better on 1920x1080.
also if i lower res in game to 1600x900 will i get same performance as samsung 1600x900 screen
also i realized that 3632qm of lenovo is slower than 3630qm of samsung will this significantly affect gaming
and the lenovo does not feature blu ray will i will be able to add a blu ray drive or an external blu ray drive

which one do you think is the better option for gaming and movies


thanks for the help

the Lenovo, with the faster i7 and DDR5 version of the 650M, and 1920x1080 screen, is overall the better computer.

the lenovo has the i7 3632qm while the samsung has the 3630qm

and well the 3630qm is 2.4ghz while the 3632qm is only 2.2ghz as per what is stated in the descriptions

will this significantly affect the performance

thank you again

Depending on your definition of "mild gaming", you can go pretty cheap. While I have a couple more powerful machines, I've spent most of my WoW time playing on this Dell 15r (Inspiron N4110) with an i3-2310M and 8gigs. The only thing I upgraded from new was bumping it up from 4G of RAM.
I can't speak for other games, as I don't play them often, but with medium settings, I have a lot of fun in Azeroth... and it was only a few hundred bucks!

ah. misread it. but no, 200 MHz isn't going to be significant
