    Ok - this is probably one of the biggest decisions i'll make this year and either way I know i'll regret it but I have to do it. Need to help with downpayment on a house so one of these systems has to go. I just do not know which one.

    The systems including the specs are in my sig. I can either part with the M17 or the Aurora, I just need help deciding - any thoughts?

    If you don't need a laptop then I'd say sell the M17 since the Aurora is a lot better, but if you like portability keep the M17 and sell the Aurora, you should be able to get more out of the Aurora than the M17 and the M17 will be able to handle today's games quite nicely.

    When did you get the Aurora? Are you within the 30 day return window? If so, you can return it for a full refund! =D

    Dude Sell the laptop. The desktop is way better. ITs easier to work on in the long run too.

    If you absolutely need such a powerful laptop, keep the laptop.

    Otherwise, keep the desktop. And if you still need a laptop for non-demanding tasks, get a cheap netbook or something like that to complement it.

    yeah guys that sounds like a plan. I'm gonna do that. Thanks. I'm going to be selling it locally in Toronto - its brand new, just came less than 2 weeks ago. If anybody wants it in the GTA pm me. Otherwise i'll create a listing in the for sale area.
