As for the performance, lower screen resolution means less work for the GPU and that Samsung one seems to have a better GPU and CPU, anyway. Seems like Performance gain inc if you get the new one ... |
i actually wouldnt be forking over any money if i cant repair the current computer. i have a three year replacement plan with best buy which states that they will replace the product if they view it as unfixable after trying to fix it themselves. im taking it in today to see what will happen.
edit: i purchased the computer in febuary of 2009.
