[dirksey]

Hello,
I am looking to buy a new laptop and have narrowed it down to these two. they will both be the same price and have free shipping, both have i7 quad-core, 8gb ram, 500gb 7200 rpm hdd, same disk drive, etc. only difference is in gpu and screen res. (i'll be using it for college/casual gaming)

the lenovo...

has the nvidia 555m 1gb gpu, but only a 768x1366 screen.

the sager...

only has 540m 1gb gpu, but has a 1080p screen.

which would you choose?

p.s.-i've narrowed it down to these two out of a ton of choices already, so please no suggestions of different machines, just tell me which you would choose and why

thanks!

Lenovo.

The lower res screen is just kinder to the GPU in games and gives you some extra fps.
