    I configured both systems but I really don't know wich one to chose :s

    NP9262 config:

    - Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor E6850 / 4MB L2 Cache, 3.0GHz, 1333MHz FSB (or should I take the Q6600 for its 8MB Cache?
    - Single Nvidia GeForce 8800M GTX Graphics with 512MB DDR3 Video Memory ( is SLI worth the money?)
    - Genuine MS Windows® VISTA BUSINESS 32/64-Bit Edition
    - 4GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz - 2 X 2048MB
    - RAID-0 Storage with 2x 200GB 7200rpm SATA 300

    I'd recommend NP5793 because well, if you're not in a position to go totally postal on spending, then NO! SLi is not worth it...
    And secondly the T9300 is more than great for anyone's needs! :)
    There's also the promo on the 5793 for the RAM going on :)
    Oh and finally, 5793 is more portable and sports better battery life! :D
    The only reason I would recommend a 9262, other than SLi, would be for a quad core CPU, which you haven't really chosen.. and it's for people who aren't on the move, and except the laptop to be in one place all the time.
    The 9262 is also heavier.... much heavier ;)
    Finally the 5793 will be cheaper, and is slimmer and better looking IMO (but looks are subjective).. :)

    EDIT: In case you aren't aware already, you can get a much better deal from www.xoticpc.com :)

    I would mostly use the laptop at home, in my room but also very often I want to chill down in the livingroom with the laptop so I guess 5kg would be a little to much to hold ^^
    And also in 2 years I go to another school were we need laptops so a heavy one would not be good to move everyday...

    Thanks :)

    I'm on the move all the time, and took the d901c.

    plus it's got 3 hdd's wadds more power. SLi, more future proof etc.

    If you want a gaming Monster. get the 901c.

    there's no if's and's or but's....

    you can get single right now and add sli any time you want.

    the benchmarks for sli 8800's show that it actually doubles the fps people are getting in some games like CRYSIS 1900x1200 30fps all high settings. you can maybe avg 15-16fps on a single 8800.

    plus you have raid 0,1,5...

    there is no comparison. they are totally different computers.

    the RU is for for normal gaming and mobiltiy.

    the 901 is a mobile KILLER desktop. yes. not just a normal desktop a great desktop that's mobile.

    just for word processing...

    i mean really.

    there are plenty of places to order from.

    when you think about it these notebooks are worlds apart.

    1 is a desktop. the other is a real laptop.

    what do you want? it's up to you.

    people ask this question like 2 times every single day here.

    do you want a desktop that's lugable or a laptop that's mobile?

    Angelina can make your fps rise faster and faster.
    Your laptop will always lag next to her :D
    I would configure her with bigger...
    Na, she`s perfect.

    Just like tech she will get outdated.... but then again.... the wonders of modern surgery...

    Oh btw .. depending on what you need you ought to pick... this has been repeated many times : You want killer gaming rig that you could possibly haul around = 9262
    Portable and awesome within its own ranks for gaming(coz of the 8800 GTX) = 5793

    Yup, at which point I doubt if you're going to be to just "trade up" to what's cutting-edge then, at least not without handing over the "family jewels."OO

    First, why are you configging the 5793 with 4GB RAM and the 9262 with only 2GB RAM?

    Second, yes, the 9262 is "much stronger" than the 5793 as a general, abstract, proposition since (a) it has a desktop processor, and (b) that processor is a quad-core. However, while general abstractions are fun, :D they are largely useless and can, in fact, be misleading. The main questions are: what are you going to be using it for primarily, and how are you going to be using it (e.g., how much portability do you need, and how willing are you to put up with carrying the weight-equivalent of almost two gallons of liquid on your back)?

    For example, if you're super-buff, love hiking with 100 lbs of gear in a ruck-sack, and are going to be doing serious multi-core processing (e.g., video editing), then the 9262 is hands-down better. On the other hand, if you need to be able to carry it to class every day along with two or three text-books and related paraphrenalia, and think of walking two miles on a city sidewalk as the functional equivalent of the Bataan death-march (my apologies to all who find the comparison offensive), and these are the only two alternatives, then the 5793 would be the better choice.

    There is a discount for 4gb ram when you get the Np5793 when you get 8800, only add 35$.

    This will be my desktop replacement, I wont carry it around so the weight does not matter and using it for video editing & gaming. I have my xps1530 for mobility already!

    If you're not carrying it around and your going to be doing video editing, then the 9262 is probably the best bet. In terms of RAM, there's no really good reason to skimp on it; however, it's more expensive than, e.g., ordering it online, so instead of getting 2GB of RAM in 2 sticks on the 9262, you'd be doing yourself a favor if you configged with one stick of 2GB RAM when you ordered, and then bought a second stick of 2GB RAM online.

    I would buy the new ram and save 2gb ram for something happen in the future (maybe, who know :D, ram is cheap anyway :))
