    Hi All,

    First of all, i am new to this website. I am thinking of buying a laptop and am looking at the new dell studio 17.

    My question is: Can i run flight simulator X on FULL settings?

    The laptop config would be:


    Base:
    Intel® Core™ i7-620M (2.66Ghz, 4 Thread, turbo boost up to 3.33 GHz, 4MB cache)

    Memory
    8192MB 1066MHz Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM [2x4096]

    Video Card
    1GB ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5650 Graphics Card

    Hard Drive
    1TB (7,200rpm) Serial ATA Dual Hard Drive (2x 500GB)


    I dont know if you need anymore info to answer my question.


    Thank you all in advance if you do reply.

    Yes I think it will easily run it on full settings. I used 3650 to run FSX and although max gave me low frame rate still I was able to get the game to run on those settings. Having said that I would recommend studio sxps16 for fsx. Since you want graphics performance from your notebook, sxps 16 has far superior graphics.
