QUOTE(coolredz @ Mar 2 2010, 05:44 PM) hmmm,i wonder 5470 can run what game well lol  Solitaire perhaps???  jokes aside, HD5400 series is a total disappointment if u ask me... it's spec is basically the same as HD4500, with the exception of GDDR5 support on HD5470... honestly speaking, it's more of a deterioration rather than improvement...

Before you buy this laptop, you should know that the graphic will not give you full pleasure in gaming like having high FPS in game or support high end game. Bear in mind, 5470 is a entry or low end card. If you would like to have good gaming performance like I said above, get 5650 above, 5770 would be better. If there's 5800 series, then it will be even better.
There goes the same with GeForce series, you should do research more before you buy. Like now I'm having this laptop, compare to my desktop I use 1280x1024 with 75Hz screen refresh rate on my Call of Duty 4, I have 125FPS all the time in the multiplayer game, the graphic card is GeForce 8800GT, is consider as high end card in GeForce 8000 series, of course there are other high end card such as 8800 Ultra or 8800GTX. While for my laptop, although 5470 has new technology and it's the latest card, I only able to get 125FPS at all time in 640x480 resolution.
So, think about it. Do not expect good gaming experience on this laptop, this is just a bargain for those who need a high performance laptop and just so-so in gaming.

It won't, Acer won't release dedicated gpu models without any OS.

Blame MS tight hold on licensing forcing their "tax" on most computer manufacturers..
