Dell vs Asus Laptop Cs6

Question

I posted just the other day about a laptop I was looking at buying to get feedback on it, which I did, so thanks.
Now I found another laptop that I am interested in, below are the computers with the specs and the price. I plan on using the laptop to edit photos and video from a dslr. The programs I use in CS6 are Lightroom, Photoshop, Premier Pro and sometimes After Effects. I’m on the road for work so I want something that can come with me.
Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about these specific computers? What advantages does one computer have over the other? Which computer would you go with? Is the Dell worth the extra money?
Thanks to anyone that can offer their input.

Answer 1

I've been using an Asus G73 JW laptop for 2 years now......only problem has been a noisy GPU fan that MANY purchasers have encountered....I monitor temps and all is OK.
If I were buying new....based on my experience, I would want :
1.   17.3"  1920x1080 screen ......15" just TOO SMALL to see anything properly !
2.  FASTEST i7 CPU possible....DSLR footage is MOST difficult to edit natively due to long GOP structure with high compression......you may want to WAIT to see if new "Haswell" i7s coming in June offer even better performance in a laptop than the current versions.....it won't for desktops. CPU speed is KING concerning encoding and decoding.
3. at least 32GB system memory.....of 1600 speed
4. Best NVidia mobile graphics card you can get.....that has DDR5 memory, ( NOT DDR3 )....AND with the most Graphics memory available, ( esp. good for After Effects).
5. minimum  2 internal HDD bays......use Marvell controlled, ( not Sandforce) SSDs here. Although expensive, to take advantage of the SATA III read and write speed, ( 6gb/sec theoretically), you can achieve read AND write speeds on each drive in excess of 500MB/sec. without having to RAID anything! Best suggestion for this type of SSD is : Samsung 840 PRO series, Plextor PRO series, and the cheaper Crucial M4 series. I am using a 512GB M4 as my laptop project drive in my laptop....cost $399. More shock resistant,too....as well as less poer consuming vs. spinning HDDs.
6. eSATA ext. drive connection.....I have USB 3....had to select checkboxes in Windows device mgr. to get it working properly so it wouldn't "randomly disconnect". I have gotten speeds over 200MB/sec., but, believe eSATA can go faster. I am not aware if Thunderbolt is available on any Windows laptop....if it were....THAT may be the fastest external interface.
7. at least HDMI out, along with display port, for external monitor,or, HDTV connection. This is important as you may use an HDTV, esp. on the road, as a dedicated timeline ,full-screen monitor....or, to hook up a quality external monitor. I constantly do this.
8.  Good Luck !!!
