I am currently looking at two identical laptops on HP's website. All of the specs are the same regarding the hard drive, memory and video card. But is it worth the extra $120 for 1.6" of screen space. Here are my requirements and situation.
I currently own a desktop computer with an Intel Core i7 which has ATI crossfire cards in it. It is my primary gaming and multi purpose computer. So I don't need a Gaming laptop and I have no need for a super computer.
Why do I need a laptop?
- Currently a Grad Student working towards my MBA at Uconn.
- Most Classes require a laptop in class
- Need to travel with it for business as well
- Need something light to carry along with books
- Need something practical as well as have the capability to play some games and videos
Current specs of the Laptops in question:- Intel Core i5 Processor
- ATI 512mb Dedicated Video Card
- 500gb Hard Disc 7200rpms
- Both Screens have the same resolution regardless of size.
The Differences:
14" Screen- 6.5 Hours Battery
- Fingerprint Reader
- 4gb RAM
- 4.4lbs
15.6" Screen- 5.5 Lbs
- 6gb RAM
- Up to 5 Hours Battery Life
- $120 More in price
