chabeetine Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Hi I have a question. I'm planning to buy a new laptop and I am torn between two choices dell and asus - i need a laptop that has specs that is good for gaming and graphic design I also need something that has an hd graphics that is good for watching movies. and a not too pricey laptop but has good performance and graphics and can withstand heavy duty use. I am not that tech savvy when it comes to laptop. any suggestions would really help thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted September 28, 2014 Subscriber² Share Posted September 28, 2014 What's your budget? Once we know how much you can spend it's easier to suggest a suitable laptop. Oh, and welcome to Neowin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what current Dell/Asus laptops are you looking at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The games you plan on playing will run ok-ish on the Intel HD graphics; ideally you'll want a dedicated graphics card. Which pushes the price of a laptop towards the upper limit of your budget, going by the prices on dell.com - I have no idea whether or not prices in .ph are cheaper.

I checked the prices here in the philippines it's around 40,000 -ish php. almost 1,000 USD . .. I really needed a dedicated graphics card, because of graphic designing. I don't know what's best for adobe creative suite. 17 is kinda large though, but I cant find a dell with core i7 processor that is not a touch. my friends says that touchsreen laptops are laggy. asus is 15.6" inch.. I went into asus store and saw the built of the laptop and it's kinda nice I just don't like the color coz it's gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
