=FlA=Incom!ng* Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 2010 Laptops: These are all around $1000 HP Pavilion DV6-2144NR Features: CPU Type – AMD Turion II M520(2.3GHz) Screen – 15.6″ Graphics Card – ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 Video Memory – 1GB DDR3 Memory- 4GB DDR2 Hard Disk – 320GB 7200rmp SATA Max Resolution – 1366 x 768 The HP Pavilion DV6-2144NR comes equipped with a Ati Mobility Radeon HD 4650, which can run Crysis on high at a respectable 30fps average. Newer games coming out this year may test this card and push you settings back to medium, but for $750 dollars, this is a great gaming laptop. Radeon HD 4650 Benchmarks on notebookcheck.net Street Price – $749.99 More info on the HP Pavilion DV6-2144NR ASUS X83VP-A1 Features: CPU Type – Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 2.53G Screen – 14.1″ WXGA Graphics Card – ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 Video Memory – 1GB DDR3 Memory- 4GB DDR2 Hard Disk – 500GB SATA 5400rpm Max Resolution – 1280 x 800 The ASUS X83VP-A1 has the same Radeon HD 4650 as the HP laptop above, but does cost $849.99 out of pocket before a $100 mail in rebate. There are a couple other differences that I highlighted above. The processor is faster, the hard drive is bigger (but slower), the screen is a smaller 14.1″ (portable), and the max resolution is 1280×800 instead of 1366 x 768. I would personally buy the HP Pavilion DV6-2144NR, but you may find the ASUS X83VP-A1 is more your style. Street Price – $849.99 ($749.99 after Mail in Rebate Expires:01-31-10) More info on the ASUS X83VP-A1 Gateway P-7908u FX Edition Features: CPU Type – Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 2.53G Screen – 17″ WXGA+ Graphics Card – NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M Video Memory – 1GB GDDR3 Memory- 4GB DDR3 1066 Hard Disk – 500GB SATA 5400rpm Max Resolution – 1440 x 900 The Gateway P-7908u FX Edition is definitely a gamers laptop and is a great deal at only $999.99 equipped with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M. The GeForce GTX 260M has a 256 Memory Bus which really separates it from most mobile graphics cards on the market now. It will run pretty much all current games on max and should keep up quite well with newer games coming out this year.
