I'm ordering a laptop from Sonystyle.com but I can't decide which one to buy due to the mobile graphics chip that. I am looking at the new Sony GRX with 16 inches and the Sony NV with 15 inches and need to figure out which is the best between both laptops for using the 3d Max software and for school.
Sony GRX
Sony NV series

I'd say the GRX500 would be a bit better as it has twice as much video ram which would help with 3ds max I guses. And they're about the same price, so I'd go with the GRX500.

Picard: Mr. Crusher, what's our maximum speed this week?
Wesley: [checking manual] Uh, 9.4, sir.
Picard: Very good. Take us to Warp 9.8 then.
Wesley: Aye, sir. Warp 9.2 it is.

Although, if you want performance above all else, you should invest in a Quattro Pro [Smile]
