The X6817 only has a 15.6" screen compared to the other 2 having 17". Both the Medions have the better 560m card. Dell is the better brand? Help me please And yes, I don't know how to shortlink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 They all have virtually the same specs,I notice that the Dell has a turbo boost to its CPU up to 3.10 GHz where as the others apparently do not. The slight difference in the GFX cards should not be a factor.If the 2 Medion laptops have CPU's that go up to 3+GHz then the only difference is the screen size. If you are into gaming then the higher the CPU GHz rating the better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I'd strongly recommend you check out the Dell factory outlet. Refurbs, but they get the same warranty as a new machine would get. Sometimes you can get insane bargains, I got a Core i5 sandybridge with 6gb RAM and a GF108 gpu for £400 last summer. They have some nice Alienware stuff on there right now.
