    or

    ok first of all forget about the prices

    heres my problem
    I want reasonable gaming notebook,its not my main priority but i play gta 4 every once in a while (the game never gets old with all the mods).
    the gpus are fairly evenly matched with 17fps on the hp and i think 19 on the samsung (in gta4 on high).

    the problem is with the cpus ,i know gta is quite demanding on them and i wanted to know how much of a difference it will make,i think gta can use the 4 cores of the hp but im not sure and how will the slow clock speed of the hp effect it??

    I know,it seems like the samsung is the obvious choise but i had a go of both pcs in harvey norman (with no intention to buyn there,robbn bastards!!) and the samsung has such a cheap,plasticy and shabby feel to it were as the hp is just sexual!!

    I really want the hp,if i wasnt so hung up on the specs id have it mounths ago (seriously,i cant make up my mind with like the last mounth and a half),will the processer of the hp make much of a difference?im not bothered about the power of the laptop other than gaming.i really want the hp but if its gonna be crap il have to go with the samsung..
    SOMONE PLEASE HELP!!!!

    ...thanks

    Oh yeah and im not getting a desktop before its suggested.
