Title says it all!
I decided to get a nice cheap budget gaming laptop for traveling since I'm on the road
(and in the air ) a lot.
I had to choose between the following systems:
Unit 1: ThinkPad SL [$470]
-----------------------
CPU: i5 2.2GHz 3MB Dual Core
GPU: Intel HD4000
RAM: 4GB DDR3 Dual Channel 1333MHz
HDD: 320GB 5400RPM SATA
Unit 2: ThinkPad T500 [$400]
-------------------------
CPU: Core 2 Duo T9900 3.06GHz 6MB Dual Core
GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon HD3650 GDDR3 256MB 128bit BUS
RAM: 8GB DDR3 Dual Channel 1600Mhz
HDD: 128GB SanDisk SSD
The Intel is one of the most powerful integrated chips out there and the HD3650 is a dedicated GDDR3 Chip that can be OC-ed easy [%20 with ease] without much Temp impact.
The intel is more modern but the ATI sounds good too.
Well the seller of the T500 made me a deal - $300!
Couldn't resist!
I choose the T500.
Was that a good decision?
I have a Core 2 Duo Extreme Edition that I might put into the T500.
Whats the hd3650 capable of?
How does the HD4000 compare to the HD3650?
TY!
