Those may be some laptop which one has 1GB RAM or a 4000 RPM hard drive so why cheat yourself from a good answer? Tell make, model next time.
I want to buy a new laptop and i'm confused between two , the first one has an Intel C2D p8400 cpu with ATI HD4570 GPU.
The second one has p8700 cpu with GeForce 9300GS GPU , they both have almost the same price.
I need it for general use and i might also download some games.
Any help is highly appreciated.
