    Hi,

    I want to buy a new laptop, but i don't know which of these 2 i should take.
    The biggest differences between the 2 models are:

    The FZ has a blue ray reader/burner , 300 gb HDD (4200RPM), dual lamp, Nvidia 8600 GT , 15.4 inch , Intel Core 2 Duo T8300 / 2.4 GHz
    Price is 1299 euro

    The FW has a blue ray rader , 250 gb HDD ( 5400RPM), ATI Mobility Radeon HD3470 , single lamp, 16.4inch , Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 / 2,24 GHz.
    Price is 1299 euro

    In my opinion the FZ would be the best choice, but isn't the FZ already ' outdated' because FW is the newest version?

    What do you think? :eek:

    That 300gb (4200rpm) HDD on the FZ might be problematic. Blue Ray Burner is not a selling point - sure you can burn an enormously sized disk that would take

    FOREVER.
