So i will be going to college soon, and i want a laptop with decent battery life and also thats good for gaming, and of course. RELIABILITY AND GOOD BUILD QUALITY
Here are my choices:
CUstom HP dv6tqe:
Processor: 2nd generation Intel(R) Quad Core(TM) i7-2720QM (2.2 GHz, 6MB L3 Cache) w/Turbo Boost up to 3.3 GHz
Graphics card 1GB Radeon(TM) HD 6770M GDDR5 Graphics [HDMI, VGA]
Memory: 8GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
Hard drive 750GB 7200 rpm Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
display: 1366x788?
ASUS N53SV-EH71
Display 1366x788
Processor: 2nd generation Intel Core i7-2670QM processor (2.2 GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 3.1 GHz)
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M graphics with 1GB DDR3 VRAM and NVIDIA Optimus Technology
WLAN: 802.11 b/g/n (@ 2.4GHz) , Bluetooth v3.0
LAN: 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet
Memory: 6GB DDR3 SDRAM, 2 x SODIMM socket (expandable to 8GB SDRAM)
Storage: 500GB 7200RPM hard drive
I mean from the specs. The HP looks like it is going to win hands down but the thing is i heard the build quality on ASUS is superior. WHat do you think i should get
Usage: Games: Diablo 3(in the future), League Of legends, Dota, maybe
Microsoft, taking the laptop to class, etc

As I mentioned in your other thread, you need to get models that have better screens, if you're going to buy those laptops. 1366x768 screens are terrible.
-
Don't get that screen unless you really like big text. Try to get a full HD screen.
The Dv6 is pretty good build quality but the Asus is definitely better. It also has a much better cooling system.
Is it possible to put in a better GPU? A GT 540 is pretty bad... -

Get a lower specced i7 in the HP and upgrade to the 1080p display.

Which would you guys recommend. i wish the asus game with a better gpu but it doesnt:/ -
Clevo P150HM is a lot better for gaming, is probably actually cheaper, and weighs only slightly more. -
Yeah those two are in my budget.

This one is around the same price: ASUS G53SX-XT1 Laptop Computer - Intel Core i7-2630QM 2.0GHz, 8GB DDR3, 640GB HDD, BD-ROM Combo, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M, 15.6 Full HD, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, 1-Yr Warr. / 1-Yr Acc. Damage at TigerDirect.com
- It has a 1920x1080 display as well
- It has a considerably faster GPU
- It's significantly heavier (heavier than many 17-inchers) and might not be something you want to carry around
- It gets considerably less battery life.
A little bit higher in price is the Malibal Lotus P151HM1 / Sager NP8130 / Clevo P151HM1
- It's lighter and less bulky than the ASUS G53
- It's got a faster version of the GTX 560M (The 1.5GB 560M is better than the 2GB version because it has a 192-bit bus instead of a 128-bit bus)

- Make sure you scroll down and select "Windows 7 Home Premium" unless you already have your own copy or have a cheaper way of obtaining a copy
- After adding an OS, it comes out to $1017.53 - and I'm not even sure if they charge tax.
With an even better GPU is the MSI/Force 16F2

- Make sure you scroll down and select "Windows 7 Home Premium" unless you already have your own copy or have a cheaper way of obtaining a copy
- After adding an OS, it comes out to $1090.53. -
