What games are you looking to play?

Nevertheless, with that setup you should be good for many games as that CPU turbo boosts up to 3.7GHz on two cores.
If you plan to run LLE/HLE on a seperate thread then it'll drop down to 3.6GHz. Not a big deal.

While the second setup has a faster CPU, its GPU is (slightly) slower than the first setup.
We won't be able to help you further unless you can answer the question.

So, just say games like Resident Evil 4, Super Mario Sunshine, New SMB, Smash Bros, Donkey Kong Country Returns, ecc... I want to play 90% of avaliable games... Smile

The good thing would be to tell us which games you've been planning to play (as it's already been asked to you twice).
No laptop will do the job with the most demanding games so it might look interesting to you to know what you can expect with your (future) games

These should all run perfectly fine on either laptop. I'd recommend the second one just 'cause it has newer and faster hardware in it.

I'll be more measured especially since he's never mentioned any game Tongue
