I bought the 6424 kinda than the 6870 and my brushup is of the 6242 not the 6870 which are the AS3830T-6870 same except for an upgraded video card – Nvidia, in the 6242. When I bought the 6242 it was 50 dollars more expensive than the 6870 and the upgraded video card seemed worthwhile. Since then Amazon has dropped the price of the 6870 which is straightaway approximately 150 dollars less expensive. I experience not employed or compared the 6870 simply did utilisation a Toshiba Portege which uses the same intel video chip as the 6870 and while the 6242 received in my ruling a better video picture than the Toshiba, if I were doing it over, I would not pay an additional $150 for the 6242.
That being realize equally mud, I did compare hands on the Toshiba Portege 13.3 inch screen computer, the Sony S and the Acer 6242. I too looked at the specs for the Asus 13.3 computers. I did not want to expend $1000 which removed whole the sexy really slim Acer and Asus computers. The Sony S runs really raging – I looked at it at two different stores and although the computer has higher resolution, a made in DVD drive and weighs less than the Acers in improver to costing around $1000, the heat issue with both machines idling was enough to dissuade me from them. The Toshiba Portege and the Asus which match the Acers are both several hundred dollars more expensive and come with some marginally upgraded equipment; a 7200 rpm difficult drive on the Asus and 6 gigabytes equally opposed to 4 on the Acer as substantially as a DVD drive on the Toshiba, for me neither of these was decent of an incentive to drop the additional money. 2 gb of ram doesn’t price0 $200 dollars and an upgrade difficult drive the same. Acer does not offering this option. I do plan when solid nation drives both become larger and less expensive to swap my 5400 rpm drive away for one.
