    I really cant decide what to get HDX 16t or 8530w? Mostly for everyday use some surfing, office works (excell etc) a game more rarely and maybe some videoediting...

    In a leaflet i noticed that the first is 1920x1080 while the second is 1920x1200!!! is that correct?

    Here are the differences i noticed....
    The first has 9600m GT vs FX3600m
    -320 5400 vs 320 7200
    -blueray vs dvd
    -1 year war vs 3 years
    -2,53 vs 2,8
    -sound capabilities????????

    Price difference 400euros does it worth the

    The screen from the 8530w is more suitable for office work, but there are cheaper options with such a screen (6... series). Also on the 8530 you have vista business + support for XP 32 bit and 64 bit.

    You don't need a quadro for your purposes (8530w=FX770m)
    For games the FX770m is ~20% faster then 9600m GT in Hdx16 because
    it has ddr3 memory.

    For your purposes unimportant, unless the video editing is getting really serious.

    The HDX has much better speakers, but the drivers from 8530w are better.
