a noob will buy a laptop today. i need a piece of advice

hi cgp.

my pc at home finally gave up after more than 4 years of service.
i need to buy a new one but this time a laptop...maily dahil madaling bitbitin kung saan saan pag kinailangan mag render on the spot and pag may client meeting.

to make the story short ,, ito po yung na canvass ko na pasok sa budget.,,i also checked the forums on cgp about the ideal specs. to meet out needs when it comes sa rendering. im torn ito 2 laptop.. asus or compaq? ASUS is my first choice,,, i dont know lang kasi yung compaq 500gb yung hard disk...i dunno nalilito na po ako.

ASUS K42JK-VX026
-Intel core i3 350m

-2gb ddr3
-nvidia ge force 310 1gb
-320 gb hard drive


COMPAQ PRESARIO CQ42-268TX
-intel core i3 450m 2.4ghz

i see,thanks pinkfloyd.^_^ php 35,900.00 via credit card. pag spot cash naman po 35k...konting difference lang.

mas mataas ang graphic card ng ASUS, pero mas mataas ang processor ng Compaq. sakin go for ASUS din di naman nagkakalayo yung processor nila. compaq gamit ko madaling uminit to ms. kat

Asus din din choice ko Kat. Enjoy your new laptop.
