Which laptop to buy
 

Im going out ina hour to grab a laptop. The HP is $100 more btw. These are my two choices. It will be used for the occasional game (diablo2) The hp has a 8cell battery, hdmi and a remote. Which one will best suit my needs? Which one has a better video card and be less "lagy"??

if u want to game at all, the first choice would b better

I'd say get the first one, great experience with my HP thus far. If you want to run games though you should really try to find one with at least some dedicated graphics.

fyi hd3200, as you can see on the review is pretty crappy....

I had HD3650 and I try to play Grid on med and I was getting only max 15fps, HD3200... would be 1fps lol

I picked up the HP and so far so good. I dont like the keys as they are hard to type with (im used to a mid 90's keyboard that goes CLICK CLICK CLICK) but it seems to run good so-far. I'll let the gf try a few games tonite, but I'm more of a facebook hog and the occasional tetris.

I'm interested in selling my laptop for something a little smaller. If you are interested in returning your laptop, here's the specifications on mine.

Lenovo Y550
15.6" WXGA @ 1366x768 (16:9 ratio)
Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 (free upgrade to Windows 7)
Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 @ 2.1GHz
4GB of DDR3-1066 RAM
320GB HD @ 5200RPM (standard laptop RPM)
NVIDIA GT 130M w/ 512MB

LOL Diablo II runs at 640x480 or 800x600... You don't need anything other than a laptop that is 6 years old or older.

Alright, so here are my issues so far. Vista is full of these HP trial games, trial norton etc. How do I go abouts getting rid of all of this trial shit and knowing what and where to delete??? I also need a spam-ware free virus program. anyone?

go to the control panel, remove programs, delete like mad, and have C:/Program Files open too to delete any leftover folder as you go.

is there a way I can view my laptop on my tv? my tv does not have hdmi inputs...

^^ could you be any more vague?

yes, sit your laptop on top of your tv. and BAM! there you go...

It should have a VGA out slot. Just plug a VGA cable to your laptop and TV, change settings, kaboom.
