It is base practice for notebook manufacturers to offer more than one type of laptop. This is because every computer user has separate needs, thus creating a diverse store where some sub-niches exist. This became uncut years ago, and the store back then was focused on users whose only need was a computer to surf the Internet and could be portable. Of course, it should fit their budget.
For this review, let us look at two laptops belonging to the same price range, and are geared towards similar markets. These laptops are the Hp Envy 15 and Acer Aspire 8930G-7665, both of which are priced close to the ,799 range.
Laptop Graphics Card
Hp Envy 15
First on the stage is the Hp Envy 15, marketed by Hewlett-Packard as intended for the entertainment-conscious individual. It has a 1.6 Ghz processor, an Intel Core i7. The processor is backed by up to 8 gigabytes of Ram. Best yet, you can upgrade it to twice the default. Completing the features is an Ati Mobility Radeon Hd 4830 graphics card.
As for hard disk space, the Envy 15 comes with a 500-gigabyte hard disk. This is more than sufficient space for music, and high-definition movies.
Specifications:
Central Processing Unit: Intel Core i7 720Qm 1.6 Ghz 1333Mhz Fsb
Ram: 8 Gb Ddr3 Pc3-10700 (up to 16 Gb)
Screen Display: 15.6" diagonal Led Ultra Brightview
Resolution: 1920 x 1080 pixels (native)
Dimensions: 14.96 inches x 9.60 inches x 1.04 inches
Weight: 5.2 lbs
Disk Space: 500 Gb 7200Rpm Sata Hard Drive
Optical Drive: Optional
Battery Life: 1.5 to 2 hours
Graphics: 1 Gb Ati Mobility Radeon Hd 4830
Pros:
The biggest advantage that the Hp Envy 15 has over its competitors is its Intel Core i7, which is considered a processor in the next level. That is because it utilizes 1333 Mhz Fsb memory. This means faster memory access, plus it has a cache of 6 Mb. This is what lies behind the remarkable performance by the Envy. With its high-power processor and fat memory bank, it can load heavy programs with ease and without delay.
The Hp Envy 15 also has a remarkable Ati Mobility Radeon Hd. This neat exiguous graphics card has an improbable video Ram of 1 gigabyte. This memory is dedicated, hence usage of heavy graphics will not affect the memory of the computer. This allows for heavy gaming like those with 3D graphics.
Since it is geared for the entertainment-savvy individual, the Hp Envy 15 is decked out with a 15.6-inch capable of outputting 1080p resolution and a remarkable Beats sound principles that gives out great audio.
Cons:
As good as its specs are, the Hp Envy 15 clearly disappoints when it comes to battery power. Due to its remarkable core and its excellent graphics card, its battery is drained so easily. Specifically, it lasts only up to 2 hours off the plug.
The Envy 15 also lacks an optical drive. Being a multimedia laptop, it sure is strange to find it unable to play Dvd movies because it lacks the drive to pop the disc into. One could buy an external optical drive, but that would be additional expense.
Acer Aspire 8930G-7665
The Acer Aspire 8930G-7665, unlike the Hewlett Packard Envy 15, is designated more as a gaming laptop rather than a multimedia computer. Its specs are slightly separate as well. Specs-wise, the Acer Aspire 8930G-7665 is faster than the Hp Envy 15 because it has an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9000 processor clocked at 2.53 Ghz. Strangely enough, it only has 512 Mb of Vram in its Nvidia GeForce 9700 Gt graphics card.
The Acer Aspire 8930G-7665 has lower memory capacity of only up to 4 gigabytes. However, it has a 500 Gb hard disk similar to the Hewlett Packard Envy 15.
Specifications:
Central Processing Unit: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9000 2.53 Ghz
Ram: 4Gb Ddr3 1066 Mhz Dual Channel Memory
Screen Display: 18.4" Wuxga Tft Lcd
Resolution: 1920 x 1080 pixels (native)
Dimensions: 17.4 inches x 11.8 inches x 1.5 inches
Weight: 8.8 lbs
Disk Space: 500 Gb 7200Rpm Sata Hard Drive
Optical Drive: Blu-ray Disc /Dvd-Super Multi double-layer drive
Battery Life: 2.5 hours
Graphics: 512 Mb Nvidia GeForce 9700M Gt
Pros:
One thing about the Acer Aspire 8930G-7665 that can match up to the Hp Envy 15 is power. Though powered by an older Intel Core 2 Quad Q9000, no one but the most specific computer user would be able to observation the difference, which we've assessed to be minuscule. The Acer Aspire 8930G-7665 could deal with memory-heavy applications like video editing, all right. Plus, it can also maintain heavy graphics because of its 512 Mb graphics card.
Driving all of this power are 4 gigabytes worth of random access memory.
The Acer Aspire 8930G-7665 beats the Hp Envy 15 at one point: it has an optical drive. Moreover, the drive is a Blu-Ray/Dvd drive.
Lastly, the external mechanisms of the Acer Aspire 8930G-7665 deserve mention. First is the keyboard, which is at full size. Plus, it only has an 18-inch display, large sufficient for allowable Hd viewing. The Lcd is also capable of 1080p resolution, manufacture its size and resolution ideal for both multimedia and gaming.
Cons:
The Acer Aspire 8930G-7665 fares Best than the Hp Envy 15 in terms of battery power and life. However, the margin is minimal: only an hour's difference.
Conclusion:
It could be difficult to make a decision in the middle of the Hp Envy 15 and the Acer Aspire 8930G-7665, so it would be safe to say that none can best the other in terms of features.
First, graphics. Both can accomplish at the same level, although the Hp Envy 15's Radeon Hd 4830 beats the 9700M Gt on a technicality.
The Hp Envy 15 loses a point to the Acer Aspire 8930G-7665 because of the absence of an optical drive as well as for its smaller display screen.
Both are tied in terms of battery life and hard disk capacity, as well as in audio-visual capabilities and weight
