    In the many laptops I am considering, the graphics cards are all different, and I would like to know how they compare. Here are the main two:
    ATi 5470
    AMD Mobility 6570 - not much info available. Also, strange that they did not name ATi, but rather AMD Mobility...

    I obviously know the 6570 would be stronger, but how much stronger? Would it compare to an ATi 5750?

    Yeah, AMD bought ATI a while ago. Only recently have they discontinued the ATI brand.

    I knew they had owned them for a while. Just surprised they named it AMD only now.

    Well, the HD 6570 is based on the HD 5730, so look at the 5730 benchmarks and add a little: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730 - Notebookcheck.net Tech

    ADD a little? NICE! I'm sold now. Because the laptop is with the new Sandy Bridge, this is a perfect compromise between the battery and cool performance I sometimes need, and the power other times.

    Well, I was looking at the Lenovo Ideapad y560. Believe me, my budget is low. Getting this for $900 is a perfect match.
    Intel "Sandy Bridge" i7-2630qm, with the AMD Mobility 6570m. It's cheap, and I am not bringing it anywhere outside the house.

    Also, I was kidding about Crysis on high. I don't even play Crysis.

    Can you write us up a review of it if you get it?

    Well, I am not getting it anymore. It was pulled, due to the Sandy Bridge issue.
