Toshiba Qosmio X505-Q887 Vs ASUS Republic of Gamers G51JX-A1 Vs Acer Aspire AS8943G-6190?
Question by ost_2010: Toshiba Qosmio X505-Q887 Vs ASUS Republic of Gamers G51JX-A1 Vs Acer Aspire AS8943G-6190?
So I have been searching and searching the market for about 3 weeks now for a decent laptop with a decent price. I’ve finally reached a conclusion of 3 laptops. But since I’ll be paying 1500$ for a laptop I’m expecting it to work great with no bug/software/hardware issues. I know I’m being a bit naive there but c’mon, I’d deserve that spending all that money!!!
Now why don’t we put these 3 laptops head to head and let the competition begin.
When it comes to the processor the Acer and the Asus share common grounds with the i7 720QM but the Qosmio advances a bit there with the i7 740QM.
But with the rams on the other hand the Qosmio and Acer share the same 4GB while the Asus advances with 6GB
Well I guess all those comparisons won’t really make a difference in speed and power, so here comes the real comparisons:
Display: The Asus has a 15.6′ (1920×1080) Full HD LED display and so does the Acer but on a 18.4′ screen. However the Qosmio has a 18.4′ (1680×945) Full HD LCD display which is a real bummer especially because its weird resolution. But I guess the 18.4’s would be much better for watching movies and playing games.
Hard Drive: The 3 laptops have a 500GB Hard Drive at 7,200 RPM except the Acer which is only at 5,400RPM. I really see that as a deal-breaker for Acer since it would really slow me down alot!! I wonder if I could customize it and get a 7200 one??
GPU: And this really is a huge factor for me since I’m an extreme gamer plus I work with graphics. The Asus and the Qosmio share the Geforce 360 GTS which is a pretty decent graphics card but the Acer advances a bit with the Radeon HD 5850.
Both the Qosmio and the Acer have Blue-ray but the Asus doesn’t but that really isn’t big issue for me.
When it comes to the media buttons both the Acer and Qosmio have them, but I’ve read alot of reviews saying that the Qosmio buttons on the left can get in the way and it’s pretty annoying since it minimizes the screen. Its a flaw for the Asus not to have any.
So for the weight issue I really don’t see that as a problem but it also wouldn’t be bad to carry around a smaller laptop.
Now for the Major issues for each laptop, which I had to get from about 15 different review sites.
The Qosmio runs really hot and alot of people complain about the cooling error message where they would have to return it back to the manufacturer and replace the CPU, GPU or both.
The Acer has its Wi-Fi problems where almost every review told said that the Wi-Fi would disconnect every 10 minutes and thats just unacceptable.
Though for the Asus they reviews say that it also runs hot but its major issue is for the extremely low sound it offers.
I could go on and on about all their specs and all their pros and cons, but I think you all got the big picture now.
In desperate need of help!! I really can’t make my mind on any of these. I would really appreciate any advise or help. Thanks in advance.
