All I really care about is playing Diablo 3 with somewhat fluid fps. This laptop is replacing my desktop. I honestly prefer a laptop over a desktop for multiple reasons as the games I play are either outdated (warcraft 3) or meant to be played satisfactorily on a wide range of systems.
I have narrowed my choices two different computers and I am leaning towards the computer with the worse graphics card because it is just a nicer computer and a better value.
First laptop - Dell 15z Laptop; the thinnest 15 inch windows laptop on the market.
- Core i5 2410M (2.3GHz)
- 6 GB DDR3
- 500GB 7200 rpm hard drive
- 1366x768 Resolution (I could have got a 1080p res instead but I think 720p is fine for a 15 inch laptop)
- GeForce 525mb 1GB - 96 cores, 600mhz core clock, DDR3 (i think, might be GDDR5)
- 8 hour battery life, 0.97 inches thick
- comes with a 1 year warranty
- 530$ (coupon stacking and other wizardry)
Second Laptop - Lenovo Ideapad y570
- Core i5 2410M (2.3GHz)
- 6 GB DDR3
- 750GB 5400 rpm hard drive
- 1366x768 Resolution
- GeForce 555mb 1GB LENOVO EDITION (not as good as a regular 555m) - 96 cores, 753mhz core clock, GDDR5
- 3.5 hour battery life, 1.5 inches thick
- comes with a 30 day return policy only
- 730$
Weighing the pros and cons, and for playing Diablo 3, did I make the right choice purchasing the 15z?
