    Has anybody seen any benchmarks on the difference in battery usage for these two GPUs? Realistically, I don't play games that often on my laptop. Although I've never bothered about battery life before although I travel for work I find myself increasing using the laptop around the house untethered. My guess is that the X4500HD is better on the battery front but it would be good to see some real figures.

    I haven't seen any direct comparisons but I'm sure the X4500 will win by a useful margin. The 15.4" Samsung R510 with the X4500 has clocked up 4.5 hours which is very good for a 15.4" notebook.
