Hey every one,





I have recently been looking at buying a laptop with roughly
- i3 330m or better cpu
- 4gb ram
- Dedicated graphics
 <$1400

I intend on using it for light gaming and some 3d modelling and photoshop so would like something affordable but with a bit of power.
Any recommendations?

Is the ASUS Intel GMA HD a suitable gpu and how does it compare to the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5145 w/ 512MB dedicated


Any advice would be greatly appreciated Smile

Thanks, 
David

ATI would be better by a country mile as the Intel GMA is an integrated card.
