I bought the 6424 kinda 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 spent the price of the 6870 which is immediately approximately 150 dollars less expensive. I experience not utilized or compared the 6870 merely did exercise a Toshiba Portege which uses the same intel video chip equally the 6870 and while the 6242 had in my opinion a ameliorate video picture than the Toshiba, if I were doing it over, I would not salary an extra $150 for the 6242.
That being make equally mud, I did compare hands on the Toshiba Portege 13.3 inch screen computer, the Sony S and the Acer 6242. I likewise looked at the specs for the Asus 13.3 computers. I did not want to spend $1000 which removed all the sexy really slim Acer and Asus computers. The Sony S runs really hot – 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 about $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 difficult drive on the Asus and 6 gigabytes equally opposed to 4 on the Acer equally substantially as a DVD drive on the Acer Aspire TimelineX AS3830T-6870 Toshiba, for me neither of these was decent of an incentive to spend the additional money. 2 gb of ram doesn’t price0 $200 dollars and an upgrade hard drive the same. Acer does not offering this option. I do programme when solid country drives both become larger and less expensive to swap my 5400 rpm drive out for one.
