There are a couple of laptops I am intersted in buying which differ in a very small but significant way.
I need OpenGL 3.2 support, DirectX 10 support and OpenCL support.
Laptops are Dell Inspiron 14 and Lenovo IdeaPad G450.
Config:
Specs are similar, with Intel Pentium Dual Core T4200, 2GB DDR3 RAM, 14" 720p screen, bluetooth, wifi, etc.
Difference:
Dell Inspiron 14
250GB 7200RPM HDD with FFS
ATI Radeon HD4330 512MB
Lenovo IdeaPad G450
320GB 5400RPM HDD
nVidia GeForce G210M 512MB
Now I need both good gaming performance under Windows 7 and full graphics support under 64bit Linux.
OpenCL if I'm not much mistaken is supported by Intel CPUs right ? AMD Released an x86 driver for OpenCL. If it works as it should, the fact that the GPUs don't support them is not much of a concern since I only want to *learn* and start *coding* with OpenCL, and not actually use it for performance.
Which laptop should I go for ?
And please gimme some pointers as to which is more reliable. I need it to last till 2013.
