Hey,
Both of these laptops are about $700. I was wondering which one was better overall. Since they're both relatively new/rare I've had trouble finding reviews.
Here's the ASUS : http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230717
SPECS:
Intel Core i5-3317U (1.7GHz), 6G DDR3, 1TB 5400 RPM + 24G SSD, Windows 8 (64 bit), Nvidia 635M 2G
Black, 15.6-Inch HD (1366x768), DL DVD±RW/CD-RW, 802.11BGN, HD Camera, Bluetooth 4.0, 4 Cell 2950 (5.4 Hours)
HDMI, Instant On, VGA port, LAN, 2x USB 2.0, 1x USB 3.0, 1x HDMI, SD only
4.6 lb, DIMENSION 14.9-Inch x 10.5-Inch x .83-Inch
Here's the LENOVO: http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/lenovo-lenovo-ideapad-15-6-3rd-gen-intel-core-i7-3520m-windows-8-laptop-p580-grey-p580/10223587.aspx?path=bd7e1b4d3ff4a3c9633d365a6388ef2fen02
SPECS:
Intel Core i7-3520M (2.9 GHz)
HDD 750 GB 5400 rpm
RAM Size 8 GB
RAM Type DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT630M Discrete Graphics with 2 GB DDR3 VRAM
I can see the difference in processor is probably pretty significant but don't know if the Asus makes up for it with slightly better video card and SSD + HDD Combo.
Thanks for any feedback!
