What is the difference between the AAC-X8S and the AAC-X8? What are the specs on the graphics card in the AAC-x9S vs. the AAC-X8?

The AAC-X8S and the AAC-X8 have a couple of differences. One is the case. The second is the provided power supply. This one (the AAC-X8S) has a beefy 650W power supply. The AAC-X8 has an ample 500W power supply. The next is the video card. The video card in this one is the AMD HD7870; a very powerful card. It will play literally anything today on high settings with zero issues. The AAC-X8 has a built in video card on the motherboard that isn't great for much but does the job. You can add a video card, but not as powerful as the 7870 due to the power supply restrictions.

If I understand your question, you are asking about the Operating system on this. It is windows 8 64-bit and it mentions this at the top. It is touchscreen so it would most likely be windows 8 since that operating system was designed with the touch interface in mind. Without touch you will get frustrated at windows 8. The other missing details in the comparison are memory which is 6gb and hard drive which is 750gb. I do not see the info on the video card anywhere.

APU means the graphics processing is integrated within the processor, having a dedicated GPU helps a lot to play games

they are different computers. almost the same. I think one has a better processor or ram speed. you should try googling it. If I try to explain the whole thing it would take forever. remember the higher number of processor speed and ram the better. good luck

The X-series seems like an updated version of A6002. Both have Hurricane III on one side. X6002 seems to have Skyline II on the other side. A-series has Tin-Arc. Prices also seem different for both. i got an A6002 for me earlier. Good-luck.

I don't know the technical aspects of the differences since I haven't tried both types with my computer. Sorry.

Sorry I'm so late but the only difference I know is that asus has a 1gb digital memory model whereas the EVGA has 2GB digital memory. Hope this helps for future references.

I haven't got mine together yet but this is NOT designed for any heavy video editing or gamers. This is a budget chip with integrated graphics solution. If you edit videos, you should get a separate video card. The A6, A8 or A10 FM2 APU's can utilize dual graphics. The A4, though it is FM2 socket type, cannot utilize dual graphics.

What is the difference between the 2? I didn't know if I should get this or G51j-3D. Using the computer for mainly games. My only problem is that I am not a huge ATI fan, have had their cards so many times and have been disappointed so many times.

A somewhat silly question. You don't NEED a graphics card if the APU has built in graphics.From the board specifications - ***asterisks*** for emphasis:***Onboard Graphics***: 1 x D-Sub port; 1 x DVI-D port, supporting a maximum resolution of 2560x1600; 1 x HDMI port, supporting a maximum resolution of 1920x1200; 1 x Display Port, supporting a maximum resolution of 2560x1600

Hello,The model that you are referencing has the Nvidia graphic card and the resolution is 1902 X 1080. The model has not been upgraded. If you have any questions in refernce to what the difference would be please contact us with what type of programs you are looking to run on this laptop.Thank you,Jesse

Thanks for the tip.I saw the 981 had the Faroudja chip but wasn't sure if the technology was leveraged at the 1080i output or if it was just for the 1080p. From your reply, it looks like you know that it does.

Mine came with an inferior GT 545 instead of the advertised GTX 555 video card. All advertising, paperwork, and on the box said GTX 555 - even the desktop link to PC Info specs said GTX 555. But Dell tried to pull a fast one and they stuck a crappy GT 545 in there.

Simple answer, the A10 is a better CPU/APU. The A8 however gives you a lot of bang for your buck. Consider the price difference and look at what your needs are. The A8 is a fine processor for most uses.

For me, the important difference is that this card has 2GB of memory while the one I purchased has 4GB of memory. I'm a 3d-art hobbyist and use an unbiased-renderer that depends on the GPU. I can build a scene using the 4GB card with a complexity that requires twice the memory of the 2GB card. This makes a big difference for me. Gigabyte is a solid brand, they feature a well designed heat sink. I'm extremely happy with my purchase of the GTX760 4GB card.

The graphics card is a Radeon HD8210. This computer comes with an APU, which is basically a CPU and GPU combined. It is designed for notebooks such as this, which are not very graphics demanding, because it uses a lot less power and comes in a nice, small, inexpensive package. Basically the graphics are going to be adequate for every day things such as going online and looking at email and such, and enough to play some older, less graphics intensive games. You won't be able to play the latest and greatest games today, even on the lowest settings, except for very basic games, but then again, this computer isn't designed for that sort of thing. Take a look at the AMD A4-1250 APU, which is the APU (CPU + graphics card) that this computer uses. Things like solitaire and Angry Birds and Bejeweled will be fine, but you aren't going to play Battlefield 3 on this. Basically, if you are looking for a small form laptop to use mainly for gaming, this is NOT it. I hope this helps.
