    ASUS F3 Series F3SV-A1 NoteBook Intel Core 2 Duo T7300(2.00GHz) 15.4" Wide XGA+ 1GB DDR2 667 160GB 5400rpm DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS w/ 256mb

    VS

    ASUS A8 Series A8JS-4S024C NoteBook Intel Core 2 Duo T7200(2.00GHz) 14" Wide XGA+ 1GB DDR2 667 120GB 5400rpm DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce Go 7700 w/ 512mb

    *For both of them i plan on gettin a 2gb stick of ram and put it in. And both are 6cell batteries.

    These are the categories i want people to help me with. Just write which one is better and why!

    Portability
    CPU
    GPU
    Battery life
    Over Performance


    Personally i think i might just get the F3

    Performances will be abit slower on the A8 but its 14'' versus 15.4''

    The A8 would have a better battery life

    Comparable, but the 8600GS edges out the 7700.

    Wow, nice. There are multiple threads on both products, you could easily use those to inform your opinion. The reality is that you have to decide based on YOUR needs.

    We'll make sure not to help you in the future, then.

    Grow up.

    I agree. It's really up to you to decide. Both are great laptops.

    You were already told which one has the better video card. Same processor and same memory pretty much brings it down to which one as the better graphics card. Done and done.

    Wow. :eek: This is just stupid. I mean everybody is helpful on this forum and I am always impressed at how fast and useful the answers to every question asked here are.

    I think you'd better get yourself fixed.

    Oh and many people answered your question (and Cori clearly answered it before you said that stupid comment) so stop asking again. Its not just because you dont like the answer that you have to be like that lol Damn...


    :rolleyes:

    Agree. I thought the first few post already pointed out the F3 is the better performer. So, it is really up to you decide whether you want mobility vs. performance.
