    ASUS M70VM-C2

    Great Price. Can handle all the gaming that I would do. But my question is this, Would I be better off buying the ASUS G70-A1?

    I mean there isn't a real advantage to dual vid cards and I know that it didn't do so hot with the raid, being that both drives are 7200 rpm and 5400 usually offers max performance.

    I'd like to get some peoples thoughts. I am stuck between these two laptops and need some advice before I purchose from xoticpc.com.

    Thanks,

    Jerry in Iowa.

    Uhhh what? 7200 > 5400 RPM when looking at performance.


    What are your other uses of the laptop? Want better battery life? Lighter system? Etc? Things like that will help us make suggestions on what to do.

    That's not necessarily true with the latest HDDs, because at a given point in time usually the latest largest 5400RPM will have a higher data density than the latest largest 7200RPM, which brings their performance in the same league.
