nvidia fanboy spotted. the gpu of sxps is built as 9600gt's competitor lah. other higher offering from ati will trash it out of water. and you forget the ddr2 version of 9600gt from hdx16t performance is even lower from what i read.

GT 130M isn't far superior from both HD3670 and 9600GTM, it's just the higher clocked version of 9650GTM which is the higher clocked version of 9600GTM. based from 3dmark06 it's just few hundreds higher.

considered the way HP always using ddr2 version gpu for their laptop, i'm not surprised the one in the new hdx16t is ddr2 as well. though i'm not sure on it.

where you get the benchmark from? anyway 3dmark vantage is not the ideal benchmark for gpu alone.

o so you mean that benchmark but i dont see it's double over there. average 17 on 130M while average 12 on HD3670 for high setting. both are not playable if you're seeking smooth game. anyway i dont think that chart is really that accurate. for example my sxps score about 4.9k for 3dmark06 while it shows 4.7k maximum. i'm able to play FEAR 2 on maximum at more than 30fps sometimes while it shows less than 30fps for FEAR which is an old game few years back. totally inaccurate to imo. although i havent tried FEAR on my sxps, but an old 7600gt can handle it almost everything max out and more than 30fps.

the brand means nothing, it's the chipset they implement that can be used to compare.

hm.. not really as i dont really believe that chart 100%, just like it listed HD4570 faster than HD3670 few months back which makes everyone crazy about studio 15 and called it faster than sxps 16.

and again i can only say you have a bad driver over there when playing your dvm4. a gpu that can handle crysis on medium high setting and get more than 30fps (tested myself) is never going to get less than 20fps in dmc4 imo. it's almost impossible like your case around 20fps in minimum.

you'll end up forever waiting for a laptop because new things coming out every few months.

mind to share where you get these information from? my hd3670 can play most new game when i bought it few months ago with high setting and medium high setting for crysis, though not on full hd resolution.

and since when video en/decoding/editing is based on graphic card? it's done by CPU and has nothing to do with graphic card based on what i know. unless it changed recently.

both consumer cards there are gpu card that built for gaming purpose. it's still a gpu for gaming even though only able to run at low setting. they are just different technology in different time frame.

the gpu is not really that bad, it's comparative with 9600gtm which included in most higher end laptop in malaysia awhile back. however it's kinda old technology that can't be matched with today's demand.

i remember there's no major differences except having a better gpu. maybe more heat?

Notebookcheck is never an accurate source for benchmark so i'll give it a pass. for resolution i did mentioned it's not under full hd. one should never bother gaming high demand games on laptop with full hd resolution unless it's something from alienware/sager.

i would take back those words but still video en/decoding is not 100% based on gpu, it's just accelerate the process in many cases speed it up. what i know is badaboom is not free and ati avivo converter is never really a success with plenty bugs and so. anyway i did mentioned unless it changed recently.

to me it's just something like gpu acceleration in photoshop cs4. imo it shouldnt be included for gpu recommendation as it wont bring very significant upgrade comparing to cpu. and after seeing some of the encoding quality out there using it, i would prefer using cpu and free converter for better quality.

it's from samsung.

that's too long.. try calling and chase them for your laptop. i received mine within 1 week during chinese new year.

i think you can use only 1 instant cash redemption. not really sure though, maybe you try to put in the coupon and test? i think it's worth it if you're after 13" laptop, that's around the lowest price i have seen. not really sure about microsoft office, maybe someone else has an answer?

it's ok.. it's worth it if you want faster and cooler hdd but it's a no imo.

i think you just answered your question.

but that's around the lowest price for that model.

seems like a lot ppl need that.. i've downloaded it before but lost the link, will try to upload for you later.

here you go.. few different minor as well..
