pls reply soon !!!! i7 4500u + 8850m vs i7 4700mq + gt750m

[Rajath95]

should i go for i7 4500u +amd radeon 8850m dell laptop which im worried will bottleneck the gpu(dual core) and might not last for another 3 years or the lenovo 410p or 510p which has i7 4700mq with nvidia gt750m which has wifi and battery issues. I play fps games mostly. I regularly play lan games, so i need a good battery back up with no lag , must be good enough for future use. Im open to other options . ( upto 800 dollars) i play games like bf4 , cod

Personally I'd prefer you go with the Lenovo unit. I've never liked DELL and they have a 13% out of the box failure ratio. Lenovo is basically IBM's technology, and I'd rather an Nvidia GPU for extra details like PhysX.

 

[Rajath95]

but i heard that lenovo has battery and wifi issues ....

 

[biohazrdfear]

Not from what I've seen. DELL has motherboard, graphics card, and hard drive issues. If you don't feel comfortable with Lenovo, then I would advise ASUS or MSI for a laptop. Anything but DELL.

I would choose the Lenovo as well. I used to work at a hospital as a PC tech that used strictly Lenovo. After seeing the kind of abuse the laptops in the medical carts took, I gained a huge respect for Lenovo laptops. i7 4700qm is a far better CPU. As stated above, Asus makes good laptops as well. I have an older sandy bridge i5 Asus with a GT 540m. It has been a reliable laptop for me. I might upgrade it to an i7 2630qm in the near future.

Oh my GOD you are so right! I'm a computer tech in just a healthcare OFFICE, and the laptops take such a beating. I've got a shelf of parts 🙁

 

[Rajath95]

what about this alternative ..... 512 MB AMD Radeon HD 8650G (Integrated) and 2 GB ATI Sunpro HD 8570 Graphics (Dedicated)
with apu quad a10 5750m ...?

 

[logainofhades]

The intel and Nvidia solution is still much better.

 

[Rajath95]

i know but i have cost constraints .... if you were to buy a laptop(any laptop) under 800$ which one would you choose ..?

 

[biohazrdfear]

Here you go my friend. This is under 800 and is made by ASUS, my favorite company. And is also has the most recent Nvidia 700 series card inside of it.

Because you're wanting to pay 600$ for a gaming laptop. What are you expecting? A Ferrari?

 

[biohazrdfear]

How about this?

The ASUS K series is AWESOME! That i5 model is the same model I would always advise to regular consumers at best buy.
