vortex 4 vs skyfire 3

[luckyluca]

Hi,

I recenty purchased a highend vortex4 (i4800 780m 16gb etc).
i'm planning to purchase a twin laptop but i came across a new model today, the skyfire3 which seems builkier but somewhat nicer.

In terms of cooling/heating which one you would recommend?

and is the skyfire ac adapter smaller than the vortex4 "brick"? or would the ac adapter be interchangeable between the two models?

thanks!
Luca

I think you get better cooling with the vortex chassis and the backlit keyboard. Not sure about the size of the power supply, I'd assume is the same.

thanks, from the pics it actually seems the ac adapter's plug seems different.

cooling would be a big factor.
skyfire seems very tempting still, considering the more streamlined touchpad and potentially smaller ac and longer battery life ( 9 cells instead of 8).
