    The only difference I see is the resolution.

    q894 is 1680x945 [720p]

    q896 is 1920x1080 [1080p]

    And it is a $100 difference.

    The question is, is it worth it for a gamer? Will the q894 resolution run games better than a q896?

    The q896 may be a lot better when watching blu ray videos compared to the q894, correct me if I am wrong.

    Edit:
    I would also like to know if it's worth it to get the x505-Q8102 [sandy bridge] over the x505-Q896. Everything seems the same except Q8102 has 140 GB more hard drive space and it's packed with i7 - 2630QM. I could save 200 bucks if I get the q896 over the q8102. Better yet save 400 bucks if I get q894 =[ Can't decide what to get.
