Envy 14 or 15?.........?

I'm stuck between the 2 and cannot decide.



The only thing stopping me from the 15 is the fact that I don't know if they have resolved the heating issue.



I would like to have the extra screen space. (15%26gt;14)

What is the difference in the screens?

I know the 15 is anti-glare 1920 x 1080 p widescreen, and the 14 is radiance 1600x900.

How do they compare?







I will be using it for college, and gaming (like Fallout 3 and Crysis) when I have the spare time.

that leads me to my next question.

Is the i7 really worth the extra $100 when the i5 should handle those games, and most processes I will use, just fine?



Should I lose the screen size and have longer battery life?

or should I get the 15 and deal with the heating and have the perfect size screen?

(I'm ordering the heat pad)



Feedback pls.Envy 14 or 15?.........?

As I do not know about the heating problems with the 15", both sizes are really un-noticable. Sure, 1 extra inch is great, but is it worth paying more? i5 %26amp; i7 are both fast, but Intel Centrino Processors could easily handle those games, so I do not see why i5/i7 series can not. Longer battery life is probably a reason to chose the 14". If it were me, I say the 14" is the better buy.
