Which is the best deal ?
Please compare in terms of the following :


1 . Which Graphic card is better in terms of handling games at high settings? 
2. Which LCD screen is better in display ( HP or DELL ) ?

In my opinion Nvidia has Optimus , thus switchable graphics so better battery , but ATI has nothing like that...
But ATI is GDDR5 ..
Still I've heard NVIDIA are better ....


Which is the best deal ???

I'd take the HP - better GPU (ATI 6770 = class 1 rating vs 525M as class 2 rating) and better price winknudge.gif .. and as you mentioned better GPU Memory.

cheers ...
