help with new laptop purchase

[cohen]

Asus makes good laptops.

+ 1 for that.

 

[Vayne]

I'd say go with #1.
Considering you won't be doing that much gaming, it won't really matter what your processing speed is. (Even though the graphics cards you have on both of those are wicked)
If all you'll be doing are basic things, then it won't really make much of a difference to have either the one or the other in terms of processing speed.

So, in the long run, you'll probably want #1; it will last you longer, and you'll have many more options.

Now, would anybody like to help me with my laptop dilemma?

I want to thank everyone for all of the advice. I decided to go with an Asus instead of Gateway and I'm really happy with my purchase.

Here's a link in case anyone's wondering: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220303

I think I got a good deal, so thanks for all the help!

Nice laptop, that is very good, hope you enjoy it.

Since when?

Since SP1. If you had 4GB it found 3.5GB and if you had a 2GB you got 1.99GB but after SP1 you can use the 4GB and get it properly displayed on the welcome screen.

I might upgrade to 4 gigs eventually but for now 3 is working well. I've tried to push my laptop with multitasking and gaming and i'm surprised by how well it performs.

Well it is good to know you are enjoying it.
