Laptop works better for movies than games

http://edition.cnn.com/2008/TECH/ptech/06/11/hp.pavilion/index.html

Externally the two laptops are identical, but the dv9700t includes a current Penryn processor, an upgraded graphics card, and a higher display resolution.
Also, the dv9500t's HD DVD drive has (out of necessity) been replaced by a Blu-ray drive in the dv9700t.
The landscape of laptops has also changed since we last examined the 17-inch Pavilion model.
However, the Pavilion dv9700t's primary advantage over the Gateway lies in its Blu-ray drive, HDMI connectivity, and massive hard drive capacity, all of which make it the superior machine for HD video.
In the end it comes down to your primary reason for buying an entertainment-oriented desktop replacement: if for gaming, choose the Gateway P-172X FX; if for watching high-definition movies, choose the HP Pavilion dv9700t.
The difference between the two systems was more dramatic on our Unreal Tournament test, where the gaming-oriented Gateway displayed nearly three times as many frames per second as the Pavilion dv9700t. The Pavilion dv9700t's frame rates, while acceptable, seem best suited for watching HD movies and playing casual games.
We hardly expect such a massive system to perform well on our battery tests. However, the Pavilion dv9700t lasted an impressive 2 hours, 36 minutes on our taxing DVD drain test. That battery life would be admirable on a smaller laptop and is downright impressive for a desktop replacement with such a large screen.

I also seem to enjoy movie better than game.
