    Hey guys

    This is the laptop that i might buy

    http://www.jarirbookstore.com/catalog/laptop/HT-21021116RED.asp


    Please can you have a look at it and tell me what you think?

    I will use photoshop, and MIGHT, do some 3d graphics, so the problem is the ATI graphic chip, please tell e fi it's ok

    If it aint good for 3d, ill just use it on my desktop,but what about photoshop, and normal daily surfing?

    it will do fine for photoshop and 3d graphics.....the HD 3450 is mid-range gpu....you just won't be able to play gpu intensive games.....and maybe really intense 3d graphics work.


    just a heads up.....if you plan on using Photoshop CS4s gpu acceleration features, you won't be able to do so on this laptop, b/c the HD 3450 is not (yet) supported.

    Ok thanks

    But can i do normal 3d graphics such as world building no animations or anything

    Also, how sure are you that it is the HD3450 and not the X900 or something?

    Pretty good laptop. the Dell Oct. 2008 brochure my mom and I got in the mail earlier this month advertises the Studio 1535 laptop but it's also available in Pacific Blue Color, comes with a 320Gb hard drive, Intel Core 2 Duo T5800 CPU with Vista Home Premium SP1.

    HD3450m as such is a low end mobile GPU and not mid-range. Mid range mobile GPU from Ati is the HD3650m(due to its 128-bit mem bus)....and also the HD3450m provided by DELL is DDR2(so worse)!

    Remember...Apps like Photoshop and 3DS MAX render with the CPU, not GPU.
