    Here is the situation: I have two choices of notebooks:

    1st: Asus F5SL, with HD3470 and T2370, 160gb, 2gb, 2 memory slots. 871$

    2nd: Kennex (you will probably not know this manufacturer), with HD 2400 128mb DDR3 and M550, 250gb hd, 1gb and one memory slot. 550$

    I don't live in EUA, so I'm just converting the price of my region for better understanding. My first thought was to buy the Kennex and put a Penryn T8100 - which I have to buy. But I suddenly got mention of the asus one and now I don't know which one to get. I pretend to use it for gaming, but I don't expect to play latest games at the maximum config. Which one will do better? More of a deal to buy the Kennex and put the processor or stick with the asus?

    Thanks!

    Yup, but also a notebook manufacturer.

    Well, about the brand, I don't really care for that. Kennex - and of course Asus - is being well known for it's quality and cheap prices. With the processor and memory upgrade - to 3gb - the price would be almost the same as the asus...

    Well, I'll still look for infos, thanks guys!!
