Title: Any opinions on these laptops - Gateway M-6862 or M-6864FX Post by: nocomment on 2008 September 04, 07:30:06 Best Buy has the M-6864FX for $799. The M-6862 is $699.
Intel Core 2 Duo processor T5750 (2.0 GHz) 15.4" screen 4 GB Ram Windows Vista 64 bit ATI MOBILITY RADEON HD 2600 - 512 MB dedicated ram The more expensive one has a 7200 rpm 200 GB hard drive. The other has a 5400 rpm 250 GB hard drive. Any opinions? Will I notice the faster hard drive? I currently have an ATI Mobility 9700/128 dedicated ram, so the graphics should definitely be a step up.

I don't have the graphics capability that the listed computers have, and I have no problems.

I went ahead and got the cheaper model, I'll post how well it runs the sims. |
