    Default Which laptop to choose from?

    I have picked out two laptops, one being more expensive but they seem to have the same specs. But what seems unusual is the more expensive one is from newegg, the cheaper one from BestBuy.

    Heres the laptops:

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...&Tpk=G51Vx-X3A

    Since the Best Buy link doesnt work, Ill just post the model number.

    Model ID: G60Vx-RBBX09

    Just type that in the search box at http://www.bestbuy.com/

    EDIT: There is actually a third laptop that could be a choice.. http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/sh....do#anchor-top. What do you think? Its the dv6t Quad.

    Specs:
    I
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    ntel(R) Core(TM) i7-720QM Processor (1.6GHz, 6MB L2 Cache, 1333MHz FSB), FREE Upgrade to 4GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm) from 2GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm), 250GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection, 1GB Nvidia GeForce GT 230M


    Thanks, just which is better for its price etc.

    I would go for the one from BestBuy, it's cheaper and everything is the same except for the HDD, which is bigger. The only problem is that they are both 64-bit, I don't think you can run M2TW on 64-bit, according to the compatibility center on microsoft.com

    Already went through this, in your previous thread.

    I know you want portability, but the HP in my last post, is a beast. Price went up from $999. Large, but still portable.

    If you want something smaller, fine, but dont pay $1200 for it, when you can get that HP for $1100. Or could have gotten it for $999 10 days ago.

    I dont think you realize that the GTX 260M is quite a bit better than the GT 230m you have in the link you posted, I was not looking for an 18'' laptop, and the ASUS support fits my agenda quite a bit better than HP. Im also not looking for a Quad Core, which tend to be more expensive.

    If you dont quite understand, I was asking which of the laptops I posted is a better bang for my buck. I keep reposting the thread since I hardly ever get any responses. Lastly, there are plenty of coupons for Asus and HP, and by Christmas the laptops I picked up will be much cheaper than now. Thanks for commented, but which might be better?

    And when I asked in the last thread, you were as vague as possible.

    Semi gaming laptop, with some portability, budget is $1250.
    I think the HP fits what you state above, better than anything else. Some portability, check. Semi gaming, check. If you wanted a gaming laptop, then ask for advice on a gaming laptop.

    I wouldn't get a HP my friend has a HP and it has only ever been trouble. I have heard a lot of complaints about HP and their quality. I would stick with ASUS or Toshiba for Laptops.

    Is my question really that confusing? Which is the best laptop for my money, out of the three which I posted above. Forget what I said 3 weeks ago, Ive spent a while looking over laptops and what I want. I couldnt care less what I posted before. Please, if you are going to answer, answer the question, or try to in the form of debating etc. Thanks.
