I bought the 6424 kinda than the 6870 and my brushup 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 dropped the cost of the 6870 which is straightaway approximately 150 dollars less expensive. I have not applied or compared the 6870 merely did use a Toshiba Portege which uses the same intel video chip as the 6870 and while the 6242 received in my opinion a better video picture than the Toshiba, if I were doing it over, I would not salary an extra $150 for the 6242.
That being gain as mud, I did compare hands on the Toshiba Portege 13.3 in screen computer, the Sony S and the Acer 6242. I besides looked at the specs for the Asus 13.3 computers. I did not desire to drop $1000 which removed entirely the sexy really slim Acer and Asus computers. The Sony S runs actually hot – I looked at it at two different stores and although the computer has higher resolution, a built in DVD drive and weighs less than the Acers in improver to costing around $1000, the heat issue with both machines idling was enough to dissuade me from them. The Toshiba Portege and the Asus which match the Acers are both several hundred dollars more expensive and got with some marginally upgraded equipment; a 7200 rpm difficult drive on the Asus and 6 gigabytes equally opposed to 4 on the Acer as substantially equally a DVD drive on the Toshiba, for me AS3830T-6870 neither of these was decent of an incentive to drop the extra money. 2 gb of ram doesn’t cost0 $200 dollars and an upgrade hard drive the same. Acer does not offer this option. I do program when solid land drives both gone larger and less expensive to swap my 5400 rpm drive away for one.
