Hi there,

I have just checked 2 laptops (Lenovo Ideapad Y580 HD & Dell Inspiron 15r SE (N7520) FHD with almost the same price. Can anybody please let me know which one should I go for.

I didn't have used FHD display laptops so didn't have any experience with that, I'm using 1366x768 screen laptop from last 3 years & currently very happy with, but its getting old as it has a duel core processor & causing some regular stability problems.

I'll be using this for some Graphic design, 3d rendering, after effects & a couple of games (BF3, Dirt3, Crysis2).

Thanks.
 



Here are the configs:

Y580:

3rd Gen Core i7, 8GB DDRIII, Nvidia GTX 660m (2GB), HD Led, Blue-ray, Numpad (Full Keyboard), Backlit keyboard

Dell Inspiron 15r SE:
3rd Gen Core i7, 8GB DDRIII, AMD Radeon 7730 (2GB), FHD, Superdrive, keyboard without Numpad & Backlit.
