I honestly don't know how much of a difference you'll see between the two laptops.

You're probably better off just upgrading the ram you have in the current.

Gaming is expensive, especially in laptop form. So you either need a powerful laptop for gaming, or it's better not even to go that route. The newer one will be excellent in that regard, but that's by far the biggest difference you'll see in terms of real world application.

The CPU is too slow, anything that involves video is CPU intensive, getting a better CPU will make converting videos a lot faster.

Also the hard drive could be bigger.

In that regard would a quad core automatically mean better?

I'm getting a new laptop because my girlfriend wants a laptop for school, So I get a new laptop and she gets the current one. I know her home pc is less than a year old and I look at it real fast the other day and saw it was a quad core but I don't remember the speed or model number.

We will be getting a place together soon so I could do video on there also.

All the video converting I been doing on this laptop works fine now, it may take a bit long sometimes but it works. I'm just using this as a excuse to get a new laptop.

That laptops specs you mentioned are fine for your intended purposes. I have a Imac with duo core slightly faster and its an editing monster. Just max out the ram and disable and bullshit processes running and it will be a good little rig. But it would be much cheaper to build a semi barebones pc with more powerful processor if thats what you want to use it for.

Just switch with her then.

There's nothing wrong with the system you currently have, it's just that everything you want to do would take longer than it would with the newer system, and if you're going to upgrade anyway you might as well get the most bang for your buck, and it's usually a lot cheaper to upgrade a system when you are buying it rather than afterwards.

PM5K

Do the math.

As I'm sure you know Rat, there's a lot more to it than that.

The BUS speed on the newer system is faster, the memory speed is faster, the hard drive on the original system is probably a 5400 RPM while the newer system is 7200 RPM, among many other differences (Blu-Ray/HDMI/Bigger Hard Drive ETC).


400MHZ is faster, but the difference between 1.7 and 2.4 is a much bigger, more noticeable difference.

Also, it's hard to want to upgrade from a system like the one you have, I spent a lot of time looking at laptops and wanting to get one but never getting one because the specs weren't that much better.

I finally got something similar to what you're getting but only because the price was right (500.00) and my out of pocket cost wasn't much at all, and my son wound up getting my old system which was similar to your old one.

I think there's some misunderstanding here, I never said his original laptop would be faster than the new one.

What I did say is that the newer is faster in a lot of other ways, not just the CPU.

Again, the BUS speed is faster, the memory is faster, the hard drive is faster, etc.

To say 2.1 is faster than 1.67 is an over simplification of things, if he upgraded his current laptop to a 2.1 GHZ CPU it still wouldn't be as fast as the one he's looking at.

When it's really bad advice I think a good "shut the fuck up" is totally appropriate.

So for example:


All that RAM and fancy 500 million GB harddrive talk is meaningless and can be added later.

When you are working with video a big hard drive is an absolute necessity. Not only that but his current drive is probably 5400RPM, writing and reading videos will be a lot faster on a 7200 RPM drive than on a 5400 RPM drive.

Also, just running Vista or Windows 7 eats up a lot of RAM, add video editing software and 3-4 GB RAM is again an absolute necessity.

Adding RAM and a hard drive afterwards will cost more than buying upgrades when you build the machine, and who the hell wants to build a new computer and then turnaround and upgrade it?


And why would someone with only 1.67 ghz processor need 3 Gbs of RAM?

is this guy playing Medal of Honor 10 while converting Destination 4 to DVD?

Again, an OS + video editing software eats RAM, you can never have too much, and RAM is a lot cheaper to get when it's new rather than later when it's outdated and out of production.

Nothing will be out of sync, it will just take longer.

mouse 2.9ghz is a fkn duo core

urs 1.67ghz duo core..do the math fagot, theres a huge difference in speed when doing benchmarks, unless urs a quad...

then again in benchmarks a quad would beat a duo when encoding clips, but the difference isnt noticeable since the quad is below 2ghz...i still prefer the 2.9ghz duo core, since most applications today will fully utilize the 2 cores, while 4 cores applications unless you running multiple shit in the background.

Who mentioned 1.2 Ghz? All I see is 1.7 vs. 2.1, which is what the OP asked. Someone else came forward and mentioned a quad-core, but for a laptop that's a much more expensive solution.


All that RAM and fancy 500 million GB harddrive talk is meaningless and can be added later.

It's a hell of a lot more expensive to buy everything separate later than to just buy it now and be done with it.


And why would someone with only 1.67 ghz processor need 3 Gbs of RAM?

I'm puzzled at your phrasing of the relationship between RAM and processing speed. They are separate and do not depend upon one another. A 1.67 Ghz processor will still see a large performance improvement if it runs on 3 GB of RAM vs. 1 GB.


is this guy playing Medal of Honor 10 while converting Destination 4 to DVD?

"A computer will never need more than 640k of RAM." - Bill Gates

First of all, any video editing will absolutely chew through RAM. Even if the OP won't use all 3 gigs (which he probably will, I know I've maxed my desktop out at times), it's still a good idea to be future proofed. It wasn't so long in the past that I recall reading a review for a desktop with 40 GB of hard drive, and the reviewer almost docked it because it had "too much space."


A 1.67 GHZ processor can't handle that work load unless you want to wait 6 hours for your DVD to be ready and even then the words may be off sync.

Once more, I don't know about the correlation you are drawing here. More RAM does not place additional strain on the processor. More RAM will never, ever make a DVD "off-sync". I really have to question your knowledge of RAM and processing speed in modern computers. They are not interrelated and will not negatively affect one another. Yes, a higher clock speed will mean a computer run faster, but you could have a 1.67 Ghz dual-core processor with 8 Gigs of RAM without experiencing any negative effects. RAM is essentially a separate type of storage that the system can use for faster access. It is akin to a second extremely fast hard-drive that allows the computer to multi-task more efficiently.

Again, aside from slightly bottlenecking the system, you will see no ill effects from having more RAM with a specific processor, unless that RAM is incompatible with the mobo, in which case the system will not boot at all.

Please do not insinuate further that someone with bottlenecks will cause a system to malfunction. This is entirely false. More RAM does not place an additional strain on the processor, in fact it nearly always offers a performance boost, since the more RAM a system has, the less it has to rely on writing data to the paging file of a hard drive.

A SSD might actually be slower for his purposes.

SSD are insanely fast at reading data, which is why you see boot/startup times that are out of this world (sub 30 seconds vs. 1:20+ with conventional HDDs), and it can retrieve data at much higher speeds.

However, SSD is still notoriously slow while writing to the disk (Sly: Think, anytime you save something to the drive, it's "writing"), in many cases it is even slower than a Hard Disk Drive (HDD). The best all-around performance (to my knowledge) still comes from a 10,000+ RPM HDD. SSD is just too slow for projects requiring a lot of data creation/writing at the present time, if that's what you intend to use it for. Also, SSDs are still very new technology (in the consumer base) and are extremely varied on performance based upon the SSD controller being used. A bad controller can be severely detrimental to performance.

The laptop will be faster, but it definitely won't blow your old one out of the water (except for in gaming).

Geforce 7600 Go

to a
T6500 (2.1 Ghz)
4GB
320GB
Radeon 4750 HD

I upgraded mostly because my other one was 3 years old and falling apart. I love my new machine mostly for its looks and its 7 hour battery life. Performance wise, its faster, but I would say by an incredible margin.

It's also the same thing I said from actual experience. Without upgrading the CPU he won't see huge differences in video encoding and may not notice the differences at all during basic usage.

He will notice a difference between a 1.67 and a 2.4.

But as I also mentioned there are a lot of other differences between the two laptops: 802.11N Bluetooth Blu-Ray HDMI Faster Memory Faster CPU BUS Faster Hard Drive ETC, which is something to consider.

EDIT: How much is the system you're looking at?

Again, that's the thing, I only paid 500 for mine, if I had to pay more I probably wouldn't have.

You'd probably better off trading with your GF unless you need a laptop as well.

It's a good system, I'm sure you'd love it if you bought it, but I don't think you NEED it.

I no longer have a PS3 so the Blu-Ray and HDMI are good to have, I can still watch Blu-Ray movies if I want, and I can download HD movies and watch those as well, with just one wire from my laptop to my tv.

All of those little upgrades add up to make a better experience, but I still think you'd be better off with a faster CPU. I might even go so far as to say that you'd get better performance if you upgraded your current system to a 2.4 and that would cost you a lot less than 750.00, but you wouldn't get the other goodies.

Again, I can speak from personal experience since my previous laptop was similar to yours and my new laptop is similar to the one you want.

I guess it depends on how much disposable income you have and are willing to spend. If you can just toss $750 down without really thinking about it -- go for it. You'll have fun with a new laptop.

If, on the other hand, you need to absolutely maximize value for your dollar, you might be better off waiting a year. Blu-ray will be even cheaper then, faster procs, faster RAM as DDR3 develops.

You really can't lose. Either you save money and get a really nice laptop down the road or you get a sweet new machine now.

im j ust sayin in general ppl who buy comps who have $500+ high end cards, but only 17-19 inch lcd screen...not fully utilizing the video card

Again, that's not necessarily true at all. For starters, most laptops have a dedicated video out. Secondly, high-end video cards have a lot more to worry about than resolution. They have to take care of aliasing, transform and lighting, particle effects, calculate battle effects and damage, transparency, and with the Dx10 series of games, physics properties as well.

You WILL notice a huge difference in gaming, even on a small screen, if you have a powerful separate GPU as opposed to an integrated graphics controller. A lot of gamers who put money down on a mobile card do it so they can game wherever they please, which makes it totally legit to own a workhorse of a card for a smaller screen.

I was just fuking witcha! Dude you really think I give a ratts ass what laptop this salad tossing homo ends up with? I am stuck with a piece of shit gateway that was assembled in a prison it has the sticker inside. it's only 1,200 MHz's and runs like 600 mhz when you convert a movie into a Gif or convert youtube videos it slows down Delta force not to mention photo bucket and face book uploads. So it's like me making a topic on what car alarm is good for a 2010 Dodge Viper I just bought ......when the rest of you still drive a 2001 Honda Ac
cord's or take the bus.

It's a figure of speech, like "That Homo Obama took away my health care" It's a common phrase these days! :toast
