So right about now I am financing my way to a new laptop (assuming I can get a job) for about upper 600 dollars (USD). I was at new egg like a good little nerd and came across this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834114638
Seems like it will get the job done for a fairly decent price. But there is one problem. As a laptop noob I don't know anything about laptop GPUs (especially ATI's). I have never bought from ATI before, and pretty much everything I know about GPUs is mostly from an nVidia standpoint.
So can anyone tell me how this would compare (if it does) to a nvidia (desktop) card?
Also, because I'm a thrifty little guy I decided to check how much it would cost on Best Buy, and this is what I found:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9172851&type=product&id=1218044029604
I might be going crazy, but it almost looks like BEST BUY has a better deal than NewEgg?
Once again, it has been a while since I messed around with building a PC so I just want someone to hold my hand while crossing the purchasing street. Any help/advice you can muster to help me?
