I need your guys expertise. I am deciding between the two models. The rest of the specs are virtually the same , only the processor and gpu are in question.
I can purchase the 8760 with the 840 QM and a
(460m/5870m) or the 8850 with an i7 740 QM and GTX480m for about $200 more.
One of the questions is which would be faster out of the box for gaming, (AutoCAD as well, but there should be no problem there)
A positives of the 8850 is that it does have the fastest mobile gpu and there is a more room for improvement in the cpu along with the 480m, so it would ultimately be a better investment since I can upgrade down the road. any ideas?

I'd flip the coin.
