Quote - Understand though that with that much power of either system in a Laptop you are forever going to be charging the batteries. Also enquire about which one has the best Heat Dissipating system in it. Some Laptops will heat up your lap more than you want. For me the Quad is the better choice, you can always put more RAM in it later!!!

For me, having to recharge the batteries constantly is no problem.  I keep it plugged in all the time as it is. Good point about the heat dissipating system - thanks Thelby!
