Is this a trick question or something? The second one obviously owns the first one. You should be able to transfer no problem.!

How's the graphics card on this laptop?

NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400 with 128MB discrete + 128MB shared

Having actually worked on this laptop, I can tell you its a beast! The new Centrino Duo has about 30% more battery life then the original Centrino processor and the the mix of 128MB dedicated video card and 128MB shared will work great! However, dont expect to use this laptop for World of Warcraft or any high-enriched video games, this processor isn't made for them... if this is to be a gaming laptop, then look into the Athlon 64's with the X600 video card chipsets...

I dont want o go all out on the games. WHat about something like Call of Duty and what not

The 2nd one looks like a really nice system. But like I told you before Mike laptops arnt for hardcore gaming. Im sure it could handle call of duty. But probably not with all the settings maxed out.
