Is 2nd Generation i5 laptop is good for ofc works (i also use photoshop)+ gaming (NFS, Counter Strike etc...)?
or should I go for Laptop with Core i5 + Dedicated GPU/VCard?
or even 2nd Gen Core i5 + Dedicated GPU/VCard?
hope you can help me to decide on what type of laptop should i buy.
Thanks in Advance
rechargetv - thanks dude... im really in now to photoshop(just want to experiment different design), but i can say im still noob in using it ^_^ V
Go for i7 ( increas cache memory) with Nvidia graphic for display best for graphics as well for CAD, microstation & photoshop
one more thing any suggestion about the brand. because i know some people complaining about their laptop that is overheating (HP).is Dell is my best option? is Samsung reliable?Sorry if i have many questions...Thanks again...
jamos - thanks for another reply. i will just ask the sales person to give a test or even diffentiate the to proccessors. but if there is only a few difference between the price and performance maybe i will go to 2nd gen.any suggestion where to buy brand new laptop. really appreciate it dude, thanks a lot
xnostradamusx - thanks for your advise... i can say im a hardcore gamer back in the phil because i spend my freetime playing ragnarok, special force, crossfire and warcraft especially dota ^_^ V .but i think i will just play some rpg games here and warcraft because i read some thread there is a ip bandwidth allocation if you are outside the phil when playing mmorpg and especially 1st person games like the 2 i mentioned before.
Honestly I just based my post on the text description provided in the intel website. But I hope to see or do a test comparison between the two to see the exact difference of their performance. BTW I'm using core i5 with 1gb VC / 8GB memory and I enjoy playing online and 3d games from it and designing using corelx5 and PS CS5.
if youre a gamer go for 2nd gen i7 the price difference is only not that much but it will be worth it also you can use it for a long time because even windows 8 comes youre hardware will still pass.also take note if youre a hard core gamer and play high spec games like crysis 2 you have to always consider 1 gb video card or higher its important to have a dedicated video card otherwise the games wont run in your computer
Jamos - Really appreciate it kabayan... I'm currently researching on it... Thanks again
There are some additional built in features in 2nd gen i5 proc. like turbo boost, smart cache and AES. compare to i5 Proc.
Jamos - Thanks for advise... but may you give me an idea the difference between core i5 ONLY and 2nd Gen Core i5... Thanks again.
For office works and the other software you mentioned, Core i5 + Dedicated GPU/VCard is more enough.
