here's what anandtech wont tell you with his pretty benchmark charts: video<

been playing on an ASUS K53TA for $450 from bestbuy. added 4GB ddr3, 64GB ssd, bump up cpu to 2.4GHz = awesome.
fluid gameplay, no stutter, hi-res texture pack at 1024 and 120deg field of view. been joining bish-horde missions and it's steady at 35fps min.

performance guides at: ntbkreview<
bottom line is, avoid anything w/ intel sandy bridge HD(bad image quality): http://techreport.com/articles.x/21099/11; and issues w/ 23.976fps video playback.

 

I looked on BEST BUY and I'ts not clear if this has been discontinued.  If it is, anybody know if this http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+Pavilion+Laptop+/+AMD+A-Series+Processor+/+15.6%22+Display+/+8GB+Memory+/+640GB+Hard+Drive+-+Dark+Umber/3441067.p?skuId=3441067&id=1218402870055
is any good/compares?

I understand that the Asus has a separate video card and the HP has an integrated graphics card which im unclear if is the same thing as onboard video this http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-6620G.54675.0.html compares it to a HD Radeon 5650 card but I don't know what that means comparison wise.

Integrated means onboard.

What's the difference between onboard and separate video cards in laptops? Separate cards have their own memory chips, onboard cards use (at least mostly) system RAM. Thus separate cards should be better for gaming.

Economically speaking, both are equally "good" as long as they are under warranty. After that, if your motherboard or videocard fries, it'd be best to buy a new rig. The prices of both motherboards and separate laptop vidcards are astronomical.

2010 macbookpro 2.66 w/ 8gb ram, running win-7 pro 64-bit in bootcamp. frame rate 60, with all eye candy-(smooth shadowing) a bit small on the 15" screen but im using a 26" vizio led/lcd as an external screen, it cost 2100 for the laptop itself, but i have a ton of other stuff that i use to play, playing without a numpad kinda sucks though
