Hey guys,
My application - high performance, running multi-processor, memory intensive tasks (consuming 5-6 GB easily)
My budget ~ 50-55 K
Could you please help me choose one ! I have zeroed in on two laptops:
1. Dell Xps 15 -
2nd generation Intel® Core™ i7-2670QM processor 2.20 GHz with Turbo Boost up to 3.10 GHz,
8GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM (2 x 4GB),
750GB 7200RPM Hard Drive,
2GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 540M graphics with Optimus,
Cost ~ 60K
2. HP Notebook DV6-6165TX Laptop:
2nd Gen Core i7 2.2Ghz-2670QM,
8 GB DDR3,
750 GB SATA (5400 rpm),
AMD Radeon HD 6770M (2 GB GDDR5 dedicated)
Cost - ~ 55K
Queries:
1. Does HP have a heating problem now in this new 6165TX series? They claim to have developed the new cooling technology, shifted the fan side ways. But if I run my codes on multi-processor and consuming 5-6 GB ram easily for long time (6-8 hrs), does this laptop (HP) suffice for my purpose?
2. Are Intel i-7 and AMD Radeon cards compatible with each other? Any issues here?
3. Does hdd speed of 5400 RPM and 7200 RPM matter here? will it slow down my tasks?
4. Any other suggestions you guys wish to provide? Any other laptop I should buy?
Thanks in Advance !
