I'm looking at these two laptops on www.btotech.com and I'm leaning towards the A8J. I can get all the things I want for about $400 less than on the V1JP. I was looking at the different video cards and I was wondering if either would have higher compatibility for Vista. I'm not sure if I will use it immediately, but the notebooks are sold with Vista and so if I don't feel the need to go back to XP after trying Vista, I won't.
Also, the A8J is smaller and although I need power, the extra portability gives it an egde for me.
The V1JP has an ATI X1700 with 512MB Hyper memory (256MB dedicate VRAM)
The A8J has NVIDIA GeForce Go 7700 512mb dedicated
I don't really understand the difference between the two.
I've also heard very good things about thinkpads, but they don't seem to have the same graphics/power options in my price range.
Thanks for input!
