Which Computer Is Better?

[Teabags]

The computers are the same price

the second one is better, but it's $100 more?

[Stephen!]

First for gaming, second for everything else

[lawrawrrr]

no they're not. you're wrong.

they're not what? limited to updgrade-ability? Yes they are.

[Chippiewill]

Looking for upgradability in a laptop for something other than RAM or hard drives is a very silly idea

[mrwoooooooo]

what laptop do you have?

Most of the time it's limited graphics capability people want to upgrade in a laptop, because you can't custom build them.

what laptop do you have?

HP Pavilion dv6 currently. My old intel one was a Dell something or other and was just terrible.

Any upgradable notebook would be a rip off since they'd end up spending development money on adding that capability to the motherboard and any graphics card you can put in will be way overpriced anyway.

Also Intel / AMD isn't going to make any determination on graphics upgradability, that's firmly in the realms of the notebook's manufacturer.

Well it's not because low-end Intel drives and low-end AMD drives are completely different, and for the most part (as far as I'm aware, anyway), the Intel drives have rubbish, built-in graphics cards and no slots for a dedicated one, whereas the low end AMD drives usually have better drives or available slots.

Intel integrated graphics are not terrible for the low end.

not like i needed to know this to tell you, but you can't upgrade the graphics on it.

and most people who buy laptops dont buy them for their graphics power

intel dont usually make the motherboards, but you can also get laptops with an intel cpu and an nvidia gpu.

seriously please stop pretending you know about this -.-
