I am looking at these 2 laptops - need help in deciding which one to buy

Del 8600 is for $899 or so - and Sony Vaio K33 for $1045 after rebates
8600 has 256MB RAM and Intel® Celeron® M Processor 340(1.50GHz/400MHz FSB) 15.4in WXGA
30GB HDD, 8X DVD ROM, 64MB DDR NVIDIA® GeForce? FX Go5200 AGP 4X Graphics

K33 has a DVDROM / CDRW and 512 MB RAM, 15.4 " ultrabrite
60GB HDD, pentium 4 3.06, Graphics Card: ATI Radeon IGP 345M

Which one will be better ? Will IGP 345M in K33 result in bad performance for vide games ?
Is $1045 an OK price for K33 ?

Thanks
 
Both video cards suck ass. The 5200 is better than the IGP (I think :roll😉, but the 5200 is a joke in desktop systems, so I would imagine it is the same in a notebook. I would personally go with the K33. For the extra $150, you get a lot more processing power, twice the HDD, and twice the RAM. Not to mention a better screen. The advantage the 8600 has is mobility, as you will get better battery life with the 8600.
Write back with what you'll be using the notebook for, that is usually pertinent
