    The 5650 is a pretty decent midrange laptop video card. It lacks in memory bandwidth (it has under 20 GB/s, while desktop cards like the gtx 470 have over 130 gb/s), so it can't do higher resolutions or anti aliasing very well, but it can play most games fine at 1366 x 768.

    yes the 5650 is good, but due to the presence of the AMD cpu it will be 10-15fps slower in some games, or it will have the same performance. The AMD cpus for mobiles are terrible.
