...Probook 4520s? Ok, So I bought this laptop at school. I was looking over various sites and I believe I majorly overpaid for the HP probook.. by a hundred dollars and some change. I cannot return the laptop to the school so the likely result is that I'll probably have to sell it. But I would need a new computer, so I was looking over at newegg and found this sony vaio laptop that caught my eye. It has everything I originally wanted in the HP probook (which was what was promised but did not received -_-). Is my HP probook worth selling for to get the Sony? I'm leaning over towards yes because everything else just seems better. I read over at notebookreview that the Intel HD graphics should be around the same performance with the ATI mobility Radeon HD 4250. But of course the ATI graphics card should be superior due to the catalyst drivers yes? I know Win7 needs to be 64-bit in order to over 3 gigs of ram so that's a big plus to me.. And I'm not so sure if the CPUs are evenly match or one or the other is better? AMD vs Intel? :S
So here are the specs:
SONY VAIO E-Series VPCEE23FX
AMD Athlon II Dual-Core P320 @ 2.10GHz
4GB DDR3 1066 RAM
320GB HDD 5400rpm
DVD super multi drive
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250
15.5 inch screen
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Chassis: Seems to be a plastic shell..
Priced at $629.99 via Newegg.
HP probook 4520
Intel Celeron P4500 Dual-Core @1.9 GHz
2GB DDR3 1066 RAM
230GB HDD 7200rpm
DVD super multi with lightscribe
Intel GMA HD graphics
15.5 inch screen
Windows 7 Premium 32-bit
Chassis: Brush aluminium lid and arm rests with plastic bottom.
Priced bought at $670
Help me decide which is better.. Just from looking at it. The Sony does. >_< But I just need others opinions and advice on which is the better of the two. Thanks!!
