FM fine, crysis badly, unless you play on low settings. hd 4570 is a better choice.

personally, i would go for the toshiba, its 16:9 ratio, processor and the better gfx card would do it for me.

ps, http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=LT-134-AC,

for the extra 70 quid, the gt 130m would handle other games better than the others. also comes with a bluray drive.

ok mate, thanks for the advice.

the one that you recommended would that run games such as crysis on meduim/high settings with good frame rates?

also what advice could you give me about this laptop?

also whci graphics card is better hd4570 or the hd4330?

Any help would be appreciated

i dont think crysis would be playable on high settings. well it would be but you'd only get like 15 frames per second, and i think it would be too jerky/frustrating.

on that notebook site it says that on medium settings, the gt 130m gets about 31 frames per second, which is definately playable. most other games are no where near as taxing as crysis is, so youd get a much better performance with other games.

im pretty sure that the acer one from amazon wouldnt even run crysis, as it has onboard graphics, but going by what everyone else says on the forum, would be fine for fm10.

and the hd4570 is better than the 4330

hope this helps.

Thanks very much mate for your help.

is 31 frames per second good then? and would this be quick and smooth?

yeah, i should think so. i think films and tvs run at about 25fps (standard hd is 24fps) and i read somewhere that the eye considers motion to be fluid at about 18fps (dont quote me on that )

so you should be safe!

Thank you mate, you have been a real help.

similar (if not the same) as the one on overclockers, but cheaper, at £600.

I've just brought an Acer Aspire 5536 and it plays fm great.Also good on all other applications. Hopefully will be changing it to windows 7 next week.

which card is quicker/smoother/better?

NVIDIA GeForce GT 130M

or

nvidia Ge force 9600 GT graphics card with 1gb graphics memory

What sort of applications do you run?

Also have you tried other games/programs?
