Well, I'm not tech person either but while I was talking to someone about my problems about me not being to play vindictus at all. He told me intel graphic cards are horrible, so I would go for the second one.

As for other specs consider all the other things you do on your computer.
3Gb memory is enough for me, also 240Gb Hdd is more than enough space for me.

It all depends on your usage of the computer, but I can't help you on what you need for what you do. XD

Get a msi A5000. No questions asked. It's the basic gaming computer, and it comes along with windows 7 for free. Not saying you can't hack into windows and download 7 for free, but hey, no illegal stuff. Anyway, just get it. My dad works for the government to find/hide secret information on super-computers and he said this is the best laptop out right now.


Amazon Amazon

Only 2.5k for new and 1 used for less than 500$ ;D

The Compaq has a better graphics card, DDR3 RAM, and faster hard drive speed than the Asus.

The Asus laptop has a bigger hard drive.

If you're going to be gaming, I'd suggest the Compaq. It's a bit better graphics-wise.

If you need a lot of space for saving/downloading media, get the Asus for the hard drive capacity.

Both will run Mabinogi fine, but don't expect either one to run any graphics-intensive games at decent settings.

Both are also fine for any school/work activities, email viewing, movie watching, etc.

The MSI A5000 actually runs slower than the two mentioned. MSI is of higher quality than the other two, but the A5000 isn't sold anymore.

Vindictus will be playable either one. You'll still experience a bit of lag so keep the settings down.
