    Hey everyone :)

    Im really really getting lost with all this need your help

    Option 1.

    M15x,
    Intel i720
    4gb Ram
    gtx 260m
    500gb hardrive
    3 years total warranty

    Use this as a secondary computer for gaming in the lounge, brothers house ect and use my desktop as my main rig for all the very high end stuff(crysis)

    Option 2.

    M17x
    t9600
    4gb ram
    sli gtx 260m
    raid 0 500gb
    3 years total warranty

    To afford this I would need to sell my desktop to do so, then I would rebuild in about a years time when all the new graphics cards are out and newer tech Then for the time being use the m17x as my main computer for a year or so. At the moment I have a nice desktop with a q9550, ati 4870x2, 4gb ram.


    The main use that I do is gaming, everyday stuff and raw slr photo file editing. Size for me is not a huge thing nor is the length on the battery life.



    Whats your pick? :confused:

    Cheers
    David
