Quick question, is it worth it the extra 55£ of the Optimus II? is the 555M much better than the 540M card?

Thanks.

The below is some comparison information which should relate to both cards, in general from what I can see the 555M seems to improve gaming perfromance by about 15-20% based on alot of reviews out there so if affordable is probably worth it:



GeForce GT 540M 96@672MHz GeForce GT 555M 144@525-753MHz

Pipelines:

96 - unified 144 - unified


Core Speed:

672 MHz 525-753 MHz


Shader Speed:

1344 MHz 1180-1505 MHz


Memory Speed:

900 MHz 785-900 MHz


Memory Bus Width:

128 Bit 128/192 Bit

EDIT: I think each card has different versions so will depend on what version PCS stock as to the performance of it and how it rates above. However from what I can see in general the 555M is worth the extra money for the better gaming quality it will bring.

How about the laptop chassis? which one is better?

Thanks!

I wouldn't know the answer to that one, may be worth looking around the forums for the reviews of the 2 laptops to compare the comments regarding the chassis and the overal feel of the laptop.

Alternatively current owners may be able to comment on this thread letting you know their experiences.
