| | Actually you can pick either one...they both are going to be extremely similar in performance. However I would go with the newer i3. And i believe 128mb dedicated video memory is always better then shared. |

| | I agree. This one Gateway - Laptop with Intel® Core™ i3 Processor - NightSky Black - NV7915u uses one of the latest processors, and dedicated graphics memory is better than shared. For full comparisons, see links. NV7802u NV7915u There are some alternative models in the same series here NV Series What is your absolute upper price limit? |

| | I read some benchmarks on this. If your just using integrated graphics, the i3 is the processor of choice. It provides better graphics performance, and in som instances double your battery life. |

| | Just go with a AMD processor. They are yesterday's hardware with today's improvements. Intel is a good brand and they do have very powerful, great processors but you can get some of the same power for cheaper if you go with AMD. |
