My previous Vista laptop has had a catastrophic disaster as the mother board burnt out
so I am replacing it with a new Windows 7 model.
as I see MTU is now shipping their laptop with Windows 7.
I have been looking at 2 models a Packard Bell TJ65-DT041 which has Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 processor 2.2 Ghz. 4 GB ram 320 GB hard drive, Nvidea G210M 512 MB Graphics card.
The other is an Acer which I have found out now Acer & Packard Bell are One.
The Acer model is very similar:
Processor - Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 / 2.2 GHz ( Dual-Core )
RAM - 4 GB (installed) / 8 GB (max) - DDR3 SDRAM - 1066 MHz
Hard Drive - 320 GB - Serial ATA-150
Operating System - Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
Screen - 15.6' TFT 1366 x 768 ( WXGA ) - 24-bit (16.7 million colours) - CineCrystal
Optical Drive - DVD±RW (±R DL) / DVD-RAM - integrated
Graphics - ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570
The main difference in these 2 is the graphics card NVidea or ATI. One other thing the Acer has DDR3 SD Ram at 1066 Mhz & the Packard Bell has DDR2 presumely 800Mhz.
I have read some very good reviews on the Acer but can't find any on the Packard Bell, not this specific model #
One thing the Packard Bell has Over The Acer is WiFi built in which would be handy around the home although you can always get a WiFi dongle.
My main question is the best video card NVidea Or ATI ?
Any other comments welcome.
