I'm trying to decide which new laptop to buy (besides the lenovo ThinkPad x120e, also a Samsung NF 310 made it to last tier) and cannot figure out a few characteristics.
Note: I am explicitly not asking for a buying recommendation!
Displays [aka: main question]
So, first: Can you figure out the display brightness of the x120e? According to some tests I found, the NF 310, has approx. 230 cd/m^2 which I would like to compare.
Also, I could not figure out any concrete statements about the display contrast of either x120e or NF 310. Any clues here?
Graphics [aka: secondary]
Second, I was wondering about the graphics chips in those machines. I am aiming for a lightweight, long-running, netbooky kind of computer, as I usually only work on a shell (compiling stuff is usually done by some bad-ass server over ssh, so - no worries here). Still, on rare occasion I may want to boot Win7 (as opposed to linux) and launch some games.
I realise that I will have not chance of competing with current desktop cards, and probably need AC power; But how can I judge the graphics power I would get from both machines (x120e: AMD Radeon HD 6310; NF 310: Intel GMA 3150) for such an occasion?
As a point of reference, currently I have a Samsung NC 10, which needs to be replaced not because I want a faster laptop, but because the display is broken. With this fella, I managed to get to run ioquake but already UT2004 is terribly close to unplayable (under linux).
