X83Vm-X1 vs. N80Vn-GP011C

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
I'm looking to get a laptop that can play Fallout 3 and Diablo 3 decently at native screen resolution (around 1280 x 800 if I pick the 14") before the end of this year.

Is there other system that I should be looking at for a great deal? I guess I am open to moving up the 15.4" if it's better.

X83Vm-X1

Pro:
Was $899, currently $1049, Hopefully the price will drop in the next few weeks.
Comes with Vista 64-bit getting all 4GB of RAM.
Can just go to Best Buy and pick it up instead of shipping.


Con:
GeForce 9600 GS should be slower than 9650 GT?
Heard people said the keyboard is not as good as N80


N80Vn-GP011C

Pro:
Currently at $959.
GeForce 9650 GT is better.
Better quality?


Con:
Vista 32-bit doesn't let you use all 4GB of RAM.
Have to get it shipped.

I'd go with the N80. It's got a better video card and it also comes with Asus' 2 year global warranty (the first year of which accidental coverage is included), whereas the other will only come with a Best Buy warranty (one year, no accidental coverage, and Best Buy doesn't know as much about the notebooks as the manufacturer does)

I have the 9600GS in my ASUS and it plays Fallout 3 no problem at all. I also am playing FarCry 2, STALKER Clear Sky, and Red Alert 3 no problem at native 1280x800.

Where did you find it at that low price?
