Help with Laptop spec...

Hi all,

Just wanted some advice to two laptop specs to see which was actually the better system. Dont quite know myself.......laptop needed for general computer activities, photoshop etc etc but would be nice to know I could load up a game and it would run.

Thanks

I'd get the i5 personally. Hard drive is probably lacking but easily upgradable. Or get an additional one.

If you can find one at a good price, get an i7

Thanks for the reply.

Can the processors be swapped easily in laptops?

Not really tbh.

I'd say the second one looks a bit better but could use a gfx card.

Try configuring your own here http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/laptop-computers/ can put just what you need in. Prices are normally not too bad.

Specs can only tell you so much. Both have pros and cons.

Do you have a link to both machines and prices?
