    Hi everyone!

    As you can see in the title, I'm looking for the answer for this comparison. If someone could share experience/opinion with me (I couldn't find any benchmarks or tests on 7000M), that would be really helpful.
    Thx in advance

    I actually have in my possession laptops based on the 7150M and the X3100. I should be able to say soon, but I can tell you that the 7150M is VERY capable.

    ...

    Except with Aero Glass.

    The 7150M runs UT3 smoothly at low settings, but Aero Glass gives it a fit and stutters nastily.

    Dedicated GPUs should 9 times out of 10 be better than shared.

    Thx for all the replies, actually I'm interested in buying one of these three laptops with the graphic solutions mentioned above :

    Toshiba L40
    Asus F5N
    Lenovo N200
    (Sorry for Hungarian links, hope U understand the specs this way too.)

    All of them are in the entry class price segment (500-550 Euro), unfortunately I can't afford to buy the nearest available notebook with dedicated graphics. My needs are simple, nb will be my "mate" at university, but I won't really transport it too much. Some games from 2004 and earlier would also be nice, if they could run on the Chosen One. I want the best for my little money, so pls help me again. Which complilation and nb brand seems to be the best of these? Thx in advance.)

    I think your best choice is either the Toshiba or the Lenovo, the X3100 is a newer integrated video card and reportedly has some potential once the drivers mature. I'd stay away from the Geforce 7000. Someone else can probably answer which processor is the better choice.
