He's pretty set on getting a 17", but nothing smaller than a 15.6" screen. Just wondering if someone could give me some advice, whether on which of these too recommend or any others that may be similar! Thanks AD

No brainer here for me, Been a tech for 15 years, and this asus is much better here even with the video card, I must admit I am don't know that mush about this Video here. I have a Toshiba and several of the keys are coming off, Plus a few other things. I just got an Asus & Levono in a couple weeks ago, both are so much better built than the Toshiba. Plus the specs between these two above show that the Asus offers much more.
However I am not a gamer, so for you things may be very different.
