Hi everyone.... I have made up my mind to buy a new Laptop - Sony Vaio VPCEB16FG/B • Intel® Core™ i3-330M Processor 2.13 GHz • Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium (64-bit) • 15.5 (39.37 cm) wide (Full-HD: 1920 x 1080) VAIO Display Plus, LED Backlight • ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5650 Graphics • Instant web browsing: Quick Web Access button • Isolation keyboard with 19mm full key pitch and numeric keypad I have some doubts though: • how does Core i3 rate as compared to Core 2 Duo • And whether I would be able to run most of the games including NFS Shift and some latest FPSs in highest quality settings on this laptop • Whether I should go for Windows 7 professional - if possible [ I am a geek and play with my system like hell - I might even wanna dual boot it with Apple sometime later ] Its full specs can be found at: http://www.sony.co.in/product/vpceb16fg Also, I would like to know whether I would be able to play games on my 23 inch monitor at home using HDMI with this laptop at high quality settings. Any other suggestions would also be welcome ...... thanks
My comments on your doubts (same order): - I found this intriguing: discussion - probably no (at least not all of them - MW2 is greatly optimized, whereas ARMA2 suffers from graphics engine bugs, which make it laggy and demanding). + considering that the max resolution is full HD. - depends on what you want to do with your machine. See the comparison and decide whether the features of Home satisfy you.
