    yknyong1 there are a lot of business laptops more better at gaming then a lot of peoples gaming laptops. In fact all top end cards have mainly a business version card for basicall open gl stuff.

    I mean 14" business laptops if you understand what I mean. Normally 14" comes with weak graphics, only 15 or 17 have powerful solutions.

    Cinebench r10 result for 3612qm is 19535.
    Google Translate

    vs 3610qm 21540 It seems quite funny a 3610qm beats the 2920xm 1st 3rd gen i7's.
    Google Translate

    I am definately getting a 3612qm now as I only do video encoding gaming with fraps on and a 3612qm is as powerful as a 2820qm on cinebench and 3dmark06 cpu score. I just did a test on mine and I got 4039 on cinebench r10 lol. A 3612qm is nearly 5x more performance then mine on this and stuff like fritz chess benchmark. Whoever upgrades to this generation will be easily able to keep it for 5 years without feeling the need to upgrade. My laptop is a 25w tdp slowest core 2 dup p series at 2ghz. Now imagine getting a 3612qm, it will be incredible. I am planning to get an l521x for £400-£480 from the dell outlet with a 3612qm cpu 4gb ram 750gb hdd gt 640m or an l721x with something better gpu. I need a laptop with a subwoofer like mine though :D.

    Dear yknyong1,
    Can u pls help to verify that the notebook can power 2 external displays at the same time, like the Asus ASUS N56VM, which can display 2 external device but need to turn off the notebook LCD screen?

    Many thanks!

    Hi,

    I am thinking of buying one of the newer Acer Aspire m3 ultrabooks with Ivy Bridge, Gt640M and a touchscreen, I was wondering if there is an easy way to overclock the GPU in this and if so how best to do it? Also wondered if the GPU is an MXM 3.0 b card and if so whether it is possible to swap that out for a more powerful GPU and if so what would be the best I could squeeze in there?

    Many thanks in advance.
