    Hi!

    Today Im deciding my first notebook.

    After reading for months this forum and a couple more, today is THE day

    3 months ago i try to buy an acer 5672 but it all went wrong.

    Now i have to decide between this two options:

    Acer Aspire 5102wlmi TurionX2 1.6 ghz, 512 ddr, ati x1100, pata 100gb

    LG LW 60 Pentium M740 Dothan 533fsb 2mb cache, 1.73Ghz, 512 ddr, ati x600 64mb dedicated and Hypermemory, pata 80gb

    My actual desktop: Athlon xp 2600 core barton, 256 ddr, Nvidia FX5200, ata 40gb.

    I really need and want to know if the benchmarks I have found of these two notebooks are better than my desktop to play some games (im not "THE" gamer, only play sometimes Pro evolution soccer 5 = wining eleven 9 or 10 dont remember)

    Acer: 3dmark03 about 1150 points
    LG: 3dmark03 3227 points, 3dmark05 1266 points (lw60, but 100gb sata, 2.0ghz, atix600 128 dedicated)

    If you can tell me what games do you play or could be played with those numbers and if those notebooks are better than my desktop....

    Thanks a lot!!!

    Adrian

    My LW40 seems to have the same specs (I think LW60 is bigger?).

    I run World of Warcraft on it, and for kicks I installed a demo of Fear, and was able to play it through on low settings at 800x600.

    The LG one I'd say is definitely better than your desktop; if I'm not mistaken the GF 5200 video card is a low end card from the same generation as the X600 (aka 9600 for an AGP version), which is a mid range card from that generation. Not so sure about the Acer since I don't know where the x1100 video card fits in (is that the right number? the graphics card thread lists an x1150 but no x1100)
