4750 or the 8790

I had my heart set on the 8790, but I decided to check out the 4750. Its cheaper, but the only differences I see are the following:

128MB video card instead of 256MB
4 in 1 card reader instead of 7 in 1
Doesn't support raid
8Cell battery? vs 12cell

Raid would be cool, but it's not required. I'm not a huge gamer, but I do like to play games. I would get the 3200 4750 and the 3.2GHz 8790 ( I want a MB of cache instead of 512 on the 3.4).

There hasn't been too many reviews on the 4750. Is it warmer than the 8790? Also, do we know what kind of battery life to expect?

Thanks

raid is not reliable in laptops. the 4750 gets better battery life than the 12 cell p4 combination. Especially true if the mobile athlon 64 bit version is used. There may be an upgrade in the future, but sager is tightlipped about it. The 128 is quite a performer as it is.

Thanks! The only concern I have left is the heat. How bad is it? I'm searching, but it's hard to understand the heat problem with text

with as5 applied it is tolerable. if it bothers you too much, for home use I would use an external keyboard. I have the temperatures listed in my review, I think the 12th page.
