studio vs vostro

[Tripp]

So ive finally got my uni money and am in need of a laptop for AUTOCAD, photoshop work and gaming. I have been hovering around the dell studio 17 but thought i would take a look at the vostro

now the vostro seems like a great deal to me, looks to have a quality build and better bang for buck compared to the studio build and i havent heard about the overheating problems that the studio has. only concern is the screen is only 1600x900 on the vostro which hasnt had great ratings compared to the 1080p version which can be had on the studio.

Is that a deal breaker? what do you guys think?

I'd go for the studio over that vostro.

for what reason? the screen? the graphics?

 

[Hellsmk2]

For me, the extra HDD space and the better graphics card seal the deal. Sorry, probably should have said that in the original post!

I would go for the studio, for the screen res and graphics card.
