557355 2007-06-08 13:36:00 it depends on what you want to use it for, and if battery life is an issue.

i don't know what geforce "red" is, but i would go for the second option.

have a look on pricespy (http://www.pricespy.co.nz/) to find the cheapest price;), or trademe.


incidentally, i've recommended my brother buy this (www.trademe.co.nz) for $350 more than your two options (will be used for mild gaming also, so the extra ram/video power etc is well justified)

557356 2007-06-08 13:39:00 I would buy which ever had the bigger screen.

But that doesn't make it better, just makes it the one I would buy.

Buy ASUS or Toshiba.

557359 2007-06-08 22:56:00 The AMD based machine is better value and personally I would go for that, but the dual core Intel chips are good chips. I would go into a shop which had both and try them out. Only you can decide what is best for your usage. dolby digital (5073)
557360 2007-06-08 22:59:00 Out of those 2 the V6302AU look better value, but I agree with PCTek, ASUS would be my 1st pick.

dolby digital, you do realise that the AMD Turion X2 is dual core too?
