I bought the 6424 rather than the 6870 and my review is of the 6242 not the 6870 which are the same except for an upgraded video card – Nvidia, in the 6242. When I bought the 6242 it was 50 dollars more expensive than the 6870 and the upgraded video card seemed worthwhile. Since then Amazon has expended the cost of the 6870 which is immediately approximately 150 dollars less expensive. I receive not utilized or compared the 6870 only did utilization a Toshiba Portege which uses the same intel video chip as the 6870 and while the 6242 received in my ruling a ameliorate video picture than the Toshiba, if I were doing it over, I would not wage an additional $150 for the 6242.
That being gain equally mud, I did compare hands on the Toshiba Portege 13.3 inch screen computer, the Sony S and the Acer 6242. I too looked at the specs for the Asus 13.3 computers. I did not want to drop $1000 which removed wholly the sexy really slim Acer and Asus computers. The Sony S runs really raging – I looked at it at two different stores and although the computer has higher resolution, a constructed in DVD drive and weighs less than the Acers in improver to costing around $1000, the heat issue with both machines idling was decent to dissuade me from them. The Toshiba Portege and the Asus which match the Acers are both several hundred dollars more expensive and arrived with some marginally upgraded equipment; a 7200 rpm hard drive on the Asus and 6 gigabytes as opposed Acer Aspire TimelineX AS3830T-6870 to 4 on the Acer equally well as a DVD drive on the Toshiba, for me neither of these was decent of an incentive to expend the extra money. 2 gb of ram doesn’t cost0 $200 dollars and an upgrade hard drive the same. Acer does not offer this option. I do plan when solid country drives both gone larger and less expensive to swap my 5400 rpm drive away for one.
