Which gaming laptop?

[Mez]

Well, I'm looking into a laptop for some cheap gaming ($600-$700). I've narrowed my choices down to these two:

and

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...4220715&cm_re=gtx_260m-_-34-220-715-_-Product

Tell me what you think.

If you have any suggestions in my price range, feel free to post.

the asus will last longer.
Acer is never recommended by me for several reasons.

1. Bad build quality.
2. Horrid warranty coverage.
3. Several of their programs are buggy (especially the restore disk creator and restore partition).

Yeah, I'm leaning torwards the Asus since it does have a pretty powerful videocard... But... the Acer has a quad core >.> and a somewhat decent videocard...

Anymore opinions?

The Asus is recertified, be careful with those. Fancy way of saying used.

Take a look at these:

Quad @1.8Ghz with ATI 5470

i3 @2.10Ghz with GeForce GT 520M

i5 Quad @2.66Ghz with GeForce 310M

I have i5 2410M, 6GB 1333MHz Ram, AMD 6630M and can play game:s in medium/high settings so would say the 6650M must be good, thats all I know

6650M is good quality. I would go thus far at least!
