    The 7300 is more powerful than the 6150. See the GPU guide for more info.

    Not just more powerful, vastly more so.

    yeah there is going to be a pretty big gap between those two cards. if you really want to play games though, an 8400m gs / go 7600 is pretty much minimum entry these days.

    to put it in perpective. The 6150 isl ike a tricycle, and the 7300 is like a formula 1 car. So you decide. Would you rather race with a tricycle, or a formula 1 car?

    Thx. Just seems odd that two similarly priced laptops have very different video cards. So the Acer has a nicer card and is cheaper. WHat am I missing, is the Acer a piece of junk?? I can't really find a review of this particular model...

    No, the all the 7XXX series and ATi's X1xxx series cards are no longer needed because they are dx 9, and now they have the 8 series, and the HD 2 series. So therefore, the DX9 cards go WAY down in price. Also, no one wants to buy those cards, because they are low end.
