Thread Starter 
OK i have been looking for a new laptop for some time now and these are the 2 that i have broken it down to. The only difference that matters is the graphic cards and since i need this to last 2 years and still be able to play games its a hard desision. This kinda breaks it down to ATI X700 vs Nvidia go 6600. so far i am leaning towards the Ati but i have heard that they are the same when i come to benchmarks.

So which one do you recomend?

I think most people would agree the Refresh is a little bit nicer.

Thye are both great machines but the carbon fiber top and design of the Z70vrefresh gives it the edge.

Sub-par? Why does everyone diss the Z71v's screen? I'm typing on it right now and I think it's beautiful! Just my opinion of course...

ditto. I like it, too! However, apparrently, if you're used to a perfect screen, it's not up to par. But I've never seen a perfect screen, so c'est la vie!

as a comparison between the two,

the Z71v has the following going for it:
*Ambient Light Sensor
*SATA hard drive support
*It's slightly cooler & has quieter fans (as I recall from seeing several posts on the comparison)
*It's a bit cheaper

the Z70va has the following going for it:
*better screen
*slightly better sound quality
*carbon fiber chassis
*thinner & lighter

Z70Va also has better battery life I believe as well as integrated bluetooth.

I think the x700 will be just a tiny bit better, but wont know for sure until we actually tun some benchmarks. The design is much nicer and its thinner and lighter.
