I can't find any information that compares the different models. I'm shooting for the top of the line, but I'm not sure which models are in the top tier. The specifications on their website seem to list all the options available in each category, but doesn't show which model has which option, and I don't see an option anywhere to build your own machine. Advice?
If by "top-of-the-line" you just mean most expensive, you'd find one with
all the most expensive options. These would be (modifying Doan's list a bit):
- 2670QM CPU
- 16GB RAM
- 1920x1080 3D display
- Blu-ray writer ODD
- (2) 750Gb HDDs....or (1)750Gb HDD and (1) 160Gb SSD
- 3Gb VRAM
- WLAN + BT card
- Windows 7 Ultimate
But that's kind of a silly way to look at it. It makes more sense to decide which features you actually want and need and then find the configuration that best matches your specs. They're all the same basic computer...they just have different feature sets.
Unfortunately, there's no grid or chart to compare them....that would be too easy.
😉 You have to do a little research on sites like Amazon.
Also, on the 3d version....is it worth it if I don't plan on using the 3d that often? Meaning, if I only want to use it from time to time, will that decrease any standard quality that I would use most of the time?
Thanks
The non-3D models can output 3D to a 3D-capable monitor or TV...they just can't do it on the laptop's built-in display. IF you don't really need 3D, I'd focus on getting the other features you do want.
