reaidstar Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I need help with buying a new laptop for university. I know these probably won't run Warframe too well, but I very much need help with which one seems better.Even if you have a better choice on the AU$550, then I will gladly consider, but for now, which one seems better?HP Laptop: http://bit.ly/1xTzp9MASUS Laptop: http://bit.ly/1C6AYRl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reaidstar Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Let me put into perspective; the HP Laptop has 8GB of RAM and a 1TB HDD. Although, the ASUS has better build quality and a better CPU.I'm just absolutely frustrated on which one to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tali Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 immediately i would say you should take the Asus but thats just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebya Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Asus : work only. HP : will do a bit more Note that the HP battery is a bit better, and you should consider it as important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClockworkSpectre Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) Honestly, unless you absolutely have to have it now, I would wait and save more. Neither of them are really that great. But the HP may be better. I like asus but it looks like you may get more for you money with the HP. I still have a 6 year old HP laptop that is still running, although I hardly ever use it, but they can last. But like I said, I would wait and save more if that is an option as laptops can be easily upgraded or at all, so you will be stuck with what you get.

I could go upto $650 max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Pharen Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 In my experience the HP will outlast the Asus by many, many years. Asus in general seem cheap and nasty. Ever since HP and Compaq started working together HP products quality have been exceptional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avyiel7 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Between those two, I'd go HP. Asus is nice for mobos and single hardware pieces, but their laptops tend to... Dismantle after a year or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athros Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I'd say wait and search for another model. But if you somewhat in an immediate hurry, take ASUS. + Pentium, even with its freq. cranked can't beat Core series. Although in this case, i3 is just slightly ahead. + RAM & HDD is easily upgradeable. + Core series' Intel HD 4400 is more powerful than Pentium's Intel HD. By Intel GFX's standard. - Bluetooth's missing. Not really necessary, but it's up to you. Contrary to Pharen's, my experience said otherwise (I've seen more HP/Compaq laptop got outlasted by ASUS). But it all comes down to how you treat your laptop though. And why 15"? If you could, you should've just stuck to 14" since it's cheaper. Also the resolution is pretty much the same, so why bother?

Athros Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) Hmm. Depends on your budget, you could even opt for an AMD based laptop. I know, that doesn't sounds good, especially concerning ther APU line, but it still an option. Regardless of any of my main points, how about this one? http://bit.ly/14ouguo (I limited the search to 14" and still got this 15" laptop on the result. eBay sure is weird.) It's probably better than the HP you searched, (even though it's its previous gen), but needs other's opinion on this, spec and legit-wise.AMD is surely scarce on ebay.com.au (and the existing ones are low-end), and ASUS laptop there is dominated by ULV procs. Ugh. Edited January 12, 2015 by Athros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
