    Asus M50VM-A1 vs Asus F8VA-B1 (can't they get easier names?)

    90% home user, light gamer, photographer with Photoshop.

    Like everyone I can't stand being under powered, lag and slow machines.
    They both have power and all the extras I could want.

    My question <to Asus users> is of these two which one do you like better and why?

    Quick question, why go for the M50Vm when the M50VN costs just about the same but has a better GPU?

    Since they both have the power that you need, why not make your decision on the basis of their size, since that is the major remaining difference? With the F8 you get more portability. So all other things being equal maybe the F8 is a better choice.
