Picking a laptop

[irowlnd]

Hello, I'm recently in the market for a good laptop and I'm stuck on whether to buy one or the other following laptops. the m6-p113dx for $600 or the m6-w102dx for 800. I'm mainly looking for a video editing laptop with acceptable gaming performance at least mid range. is there really much of a difference in performance ?

I can't really tell because you haven't specified what particular dedicated graphics the second laptop has...

 

The first laptop looks better because of a higher resolution screen and an 840m but I would really aim for better dedicated graphics than that if you're after graphics performance.

if you do not plan to game search for a high tier cpu for rendering

Lenovo series has quad core i7 options. The Lenovo W540 is good as a workstation, and has fenomenal cooling.

I would say there are about par (I don't know)

I would go with the cheapest one.

However I think in this case that graphics performance would want some emphasis and the Quadro cards are going to be overpriced for anything but professional work and they aren't extremely powerful or anything.

HP laptop? Ewww...

Hmm, why not hold off your purchase for Black Friday?

Unless you are impatient and want to buy it.
