Help choosing my new notebook?
Macbook Pro, Asus G73, Sony Vaio F series?
Ok I have to choose between these 3 notebooks. I need one that is
1) good for gaming
2) good for basically everything editing videos, music etc..
3) good battery life
4) not known to have issues
5) no heating issues
6) what you think will last a long time (quality of life)
Both the macbook pro and sony vaio have the Nvidia 330M GPU. Sony has 1gb and the macbook pro is 512MB. Is this a chip or a card?
The Asus G73 has the ATI Radeon Mobility HD 5870 1gb GPU. Is it a chip or card?
Which one out of those GPU’s is better and that will last as well
