need advice!!!

Hi,

I am considering to buy a lap-top that i intend to use for 3D modeling, photo-processing and some gaming. After some search between the available products I am stuck between choosing the Asus G1S with T7500 processor, 2 GB memory and 160 GB HDD (5200 RPM?) with NVidia GeForce 8600M GT (256 MB)

and the Znote 6625WD produced by Zepto, with same processor, 200 GB HDD with 7200 RPM, 2GB RAM, same grapic card but with 516 GB.


I am puzzled, because some say the Zepto screen is better than what the Asus has, the components are also better in the Zepto, howerer what concerns the looks, the Asus is much superior, and it has HDMI output, and perhaps the construction is also more solid. Both lap-tops are at about the same price.

Does anyone have first hand experience with both lap-tops, especially concerning screen quality? I could ude some advices, I cannot really make up my mind....

Also, does the 516 MB of video memory make a large difference, as compared to 256 MB?

What about the memory? Zepto offers the possibility of choosing 800MHz memory, however, on the Intel page, the T7000 series processors only support 667MHz type memory.. Did Zepto tweaked the T7500 processor?

regards!

Regarding performance differences, the Asus G1S uses GDDR3 video memory, which gives it a slight edge in graphics performance over the Zepto, even though the Zepto has more video memory. Regarding the system RAM, you are correct that the chipset will only support up to 667 Mhz RAM. You will not see a speed increase if you use faster RAM. If you get 800 Mhz RAM, it will automatically downclock to 667 Mhz when in your system.

I haven't had any significant hands-on experience with either system, though, so I can't give you any help on that front.
