Hey guys im set on getting one of these laptops but im not sure if the extra $150 is worth it or not. here our my choices

asus u43jc or the u43f

the only difference is the graphics card the u43jc comes with an nvidia 310m and the other is an intel uma. the price for each is $850 and $999.

So what do you guys think? let me know would like to buy it today thanks

If you plan on doing any kind of gaming - even something simple like Warcraft III, I would suggest the Nvidia 310m.

actually i think im going to go with something else since ia ctually went to go take a look at what the laptop looks like in person. then i saw an acer timelinex.

Im kinda looking for a laptop that will alow me to play sc2 and D3 later on, but i do not want to spend a ton of money on a laptop. im also looking for a 11in to 14in laptop. i dont mind if i have to play the games on low settings but i want it be smooth and not have a ton of lag.

Then you will want something better than Intel IGP. The latest Core i3/i5 IGP is about twice the performance of the previous GMA4500, but that's still not saying much. Either go with AMD and their latest IGP (Radeon 4225 right now) or get an Intel with a dedicated card.

serious...i have a timeline x with intel graphics, theyre more or less worthless. i bought it knowing id never game on it, so it didnt matter to me

also the alps touchpad sucks donkey balls. i mostly like the thing otherwise.
