    Hey guys, im considering buying the Clevo M570U through either the Sager 5760 or Prostar 5724.

    I can get either laptop for $ 2449. But here is my issue:

    The deal from Sager has a 2.0 ghz processor with a Quadro FX 2500.
    The deal from ProStar has a 2.16 ghz processor with a GeForce Go 7950 GTX.
    Each has 2 gigs of memory and the rest is almost identical (HD, screen etc).

    Can someone tell me which system will fair better for gaming, and which system will be best for the long run since this laptop will be mine for at least four years? I wouldn't consider myself a 'hard-core' gamer, more of a casual-enthusiast, but regardless I am set on the capabilities of the Clevo M570U.

    And if anyone can explain the difference in the 2 GPUs mentioned above I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance for any help! :D

    BTW if anyone has any objections about Sager of ProStar PLZ tell me. There aren't many customer reviews/feedback about these two companies online, even after reading Gophn's great Clevo guide: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=91510

    The Quadro FX 2500 is a workstation graphics card. That is its optimized to do such things like image rendering, AutoCAD, etc. The GeForce Go 7950 GTX on the other hand is made for the "enthusiast" and meant to get the most out of your games. So I would definetly recommend the 7950 GTX, especially with the faster processor.

    You can still configure a great Clevo M570U at RJtech with all options.
