Which of these two laptops

Hi,

I am looking for a good reliable laptop for general use and that will also handle flight sims. I am looking at the two below and would appreciate any feedback.

1. HP Pavilion Laptop, DV6699EA, 2GHz with 15.4 Inch Display.

Spec - http://www.johnlewis.com/230445985/Product.aspx

2. Toshiba Satellite Laptop, P200-1K8, 2GHz with 17 Inch Display

Spec - http://www.johnlewis.com/230472323/Product.aspx

I think the question's more "what do you need"? Both laptops have fine specs and should perform pretty much equally. I don't know which GPU is technically faster right off, but either should be about the same. The real thing you should ask yourself, though, is if you want a 17" laptop to lug around. I sometimes wish my Fujitsu were smaller (only a 15.4", but a massive one!)

+1

ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600 vs NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS
would be really similar. They are not good gaming card anyway...

It will down to if you want 17" or 15.4" at the end...

By the way, have a look at these 2 as well, they have better spec than those 2 you've chosen

Acer Aspire 5920G @ £530
