    Hi guys, I have a question for you 1525 owners.

    This model is looking dirt cheap at the moment and I'm doing quite a bit of shopping around before I make a purchase. What I want to know is whats the Integrated Intel GMA X3100 like? I've read a review on the front page of this site which was not so convincing, however I shall only be using the notebook for academic work, internet, music, video's / dvd's and photos. In short, mainly entertainment.

    Would the GPU work well in relation to my needs. I'll probably be most picky when it comes to video's / DVD's and the quality of play.

    It's a ball ache really that they don't have a separate option to upgrade the GPU, you think I could get a one via phone?

    Nevertheless I would still like your opinions, they will be much appreciated.

    Thank you.
    :rolleyes: ;) :D

    X3100 is Just Perfect For Your Needs , but if you need to play light games then better go for 1520 bro ;)

    I had a 1520 and watching DVDs was never a problem. Sounds like its a good choice for you.
