Posted August 7, 2015 A friend of mine is looking for a laptop and has a bigger budget that what I had( about 3 times the budget ) At first he wanted a gaming laptop to be able to play every new game(and he also thought that the people who spend 1000+ euros for a laptop that you can't game on are stupid ). After a litle bit of talking i managed to convince him that it's not worth to carry around with you all day for the next 2-3 years a 3+kg laptop only to game like 1 hour at night so I convinced him to gen an ultrabook with a dedicated gpu. I came down to these 2 options The first one has an i7 cpu with a Nvidia GT 820m 2GB http://www.cel.ro/laptop-laptopuri/ultrabook-asus-tp300ld_c4101h-i7_4510u-128gb-8gb-gt820m-2gb-win8-full-hd-touch-l/ (sry for the links in romanian, I couldn't find the same specs on amazon) And the second one has an i5 but with a 840M 2gb http://www.cel.ro/laptop-laptopuri/ultrabook-asus-ux303ln_dq284h-i5_5200u-256gb-8gb-gt840m-2gb-win8-qhd-l/ I personally think that the second one would be the better option because the i5 and i7 are quite simillar, it's lighter and thinner and has a bigger ssd. the other one has a touch screen and is also a convertible but he doesn't really care about those things so which one would you choose, and do you think that I made a good decission with these two? also, do you have any other recommendations?

Posted August 7, 2015 The i7 and the i5 will perform similarly as they're both dual cores, so go with the i5 I have finally moved to a desktop. Also my guides are outdated as hell. THE INFORMATION GUIDES: SLI INFORMATION || vRAM INFORMATION || MOBILE i7 CPU INFORMATION || Maybe more someday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 8, 2015 The UX303LN is by far the better ultrabook, CPUs are basically identical in performance but the 840m is leagues ahead of the 820m plus 256 SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
