Which one? Hp vs Asus

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Ok i'm looking at best buy for a laptop for college next fall.. I want a fast pc because I'm looking at CAD Drafting. So mostly i will be using it for school and internet and to do some gaming when i'm away from my desktop with it.

These are the two i'm looking at http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=cat13504&type=page&pageIdentity=searchDriven&useProductString=true& productString=1218243761956*1218291940818&unProductString=1218271244690*1218258076 550*1218258080256*1218215933512*1218293492945&catId==

1.) Asus G73JH-BST7 1,199

2.) HP dv7-4290us 1,149

Yea the Hp has blu ray, the newer I7 and a bigger hard drive but it has a weaker video card and I kinda like the cooling setup on the Asus. I'm going with best buy cause they offer the 18 month no interest best buy card..

What do you guys think? asus or hp? I know the asus is hard on battery but i can see myself having it plug in most of the time and hopfully i can plug it in at school lol.

For CAD and gaming, the video card is the primary thing to look at and the one on the Asus is considerably more powerful than the one on the HP. Also, Asus has a better reputation for build quality.
