Geez, I'm just asking on the performance. No need for that doh.gif. I must say, is it wrong to ask?

no offence intended, i am juz curious...

my own view is that, if u can have such a rig and oc to such a level, u surely knows at least sth abt hardware spec and performance...

in any way, HD5470 has 10 times less SP and 1/4 of the memory bandwidth of a desktop HD5770...

Anyways, it doesn't matter. I was looking at the same line with the 5145 and the 4570. I'm just curious on the gaming performance between the 5450 with those 2. The 5450 is still capable of being OCed to the level of a 5470 isn't it?

thanks, updated with real. forget that desktop and laptop have both different spec.

5145 is a rebadged HD4570, so the spec is exactly the same Including the fabrication etc. both have almost the same performance, only slight improvements for HD5450.

So the 5450 is better or otherwise?

better, but just a really little margin. so next time, if yo saw some laptop you fancy, but cannot make your mind, coz got two models, one is using the 5145(or 4570) and the other one is using 5450, you can safely choose the one with higher processor. if both have the same proc, you can choose the one with better price point.

Then in that case its safe to choose the Studio 15 nod.gif. Thanks for all the help.

NO!? LoL What's ur budget? There's tons of better ones out there than Studio 15

For a laptop, my rough budget is around 2.8 - 2.9k. Since there's a coupon for it, I'm really keen on the Studio 15. Really Love the design and built of it. Am still thinking about the Inspiron 15R, for me it's more convenient getting it with CC service and online payment just like Dell.

My friend has an older Studio 15.. I don't think the cooling system is good.. Even only an Intel GMA its kinda warm on idle and websurfing..

Here's a much better deal..

Acer 5741G RM2999
-Core i5-520M 2.4Ghz, Turbo Boost up to 2.93GHz
-4GB DDR3
-Nvidia GeForce GT320M 1GB GDDR3
-15.6" HD LED Backlit LCD
-500GB HDD

Better than ATi HD5450 LOL.. The lid has nice design and the exhaust vent is at the left hand side thus giving a much cooler system instead of the back(like Studio 15 which is "blocked")..

But GT 320 doesn't have drivers yet doesn't it? Alternately this is actually a better deal, the price per performance. The i5 520, 500GB HDD. Will consider, but somehow I could only afford a laptop at a monthly payment of 240, you see.. I'm still a secondary student and I'll be using my allowance for that sweat.gif. And the new Inspiron 15R uses the 5470 not the 5450.
