hp g6 vs lenovo z570

R4Zi

Hello! I'm looking to buy a new laptop which im going to use as a desktop replacement. I will be using it for gaming, movies, programming, internet etc..

I have shortlisted 2 models which fall within my budget and suit my requirements fairly well. Both come with the intel i5 and have almost identical specs except for their gpus.

The first one is the hp g6 which comes with the amd radeon 7670m.

The second is the lenovo z570 which comes with the nvidia gt 540m.

Now, i know the 7670m is a slightly more powerful gpu and honestly i am inclined more towards the HP but i have read that it suffers from heating issues. Is this true? I also know quite a few people who use hps and are quite happy with them. Which one do you think i should go for?? Also, which of the two has a better display?

Jarren

What is your price range ?

R4Zi

I can stretch my budget upto INR 50000. I've looked at most models within my budget and i feel that these two will serve me best. Or i could go for the hp g6 with the trinity a8 cpu with dual graphics. Which do you recommend?

Jarren

Sorry,I'd be able to recommend something from US/European markets, don't know much about Asian laptop markets tbh.

R4Zi

alright, no prob

But among the 3 i mentioned, which do you think is the best for some gaming? The specs should be pretty much the same worldwide.

Jarren

I'd pick that Lenovo over that HP any day , not sure exactly about the rest of specs,could you post the links by any chance?

R4Zi

Why would you pick the lenovo? Cause its more reliable?

Sure, here are the links

Forget about HP nr 1, you should really look at 2nd Generation Intel CPU.

Many HP laptop users worldwide reported issues with overheating,it seems to be a common fault with them.

Lenovo - The lesser of 2 evils from built quality point of view, reliability.

That HP has better specs but I'd prefer that Lenny to be honest.

Personally speaking I'd get this

and you are ready to roll.

I'ts still within your budget and to be frank you'd get more reliable brand lappy with
much better speed opening programs/files.




As you can see Asus seems to be one of the most reliable brands out there.

Alright! Thanks!!!:) Its perfect, I think thats what im going to buy! My only question is whether the 630m is as good as the 7670m? Or is the difference so subtle i wont even notice??

That Amd is just a little bit better, you wont see the difference though.

That chart isn't really relevant these days thugh as it's using 3 year old data, that is like judging the Irish economy on 2008 data.

Lenovo, hell ANYTHING over HP anyday!

Have you got a better chart?


I don't have acess to the newest data,do you?


Genuine question:)

devnull

No, but the thing about that chart is that the majority of companies who feature highest, are the people who had the most famed NVidia overheating graphics cards, the companies who didn't use them en-mass seem to seem the most reliable.

What I'm saying is that the companies who bundle such graphics chips will come out worse in that survey through no fault of their own because of a screw up by nVidia. That is way I take them with a pinch of salt and it would be nice to see more recent figures.

I bought a Lenovo a year ago, i'm very impressed with it, great machine.
