    Hi, I have been looking at the HP dv4z laptop but have not been able to find one that has a dedicated graphics option.

    Is there a HP dv4z that has a good dedicated GPU? If so, where would I be able to purchase it as it is no longer available at the HP store.

    Thanks in advance,
    Dylan

    IIRC, the only dedicated GPU offered with the dv4z was the Radeon 3450 which wasn't that much of an improvement over the very good integrated Radeon 3200. I've been able to play Blu-ray video on an external 1920x1200 res monitor with ease with mine. If you really need a dedicated GPU you'll want to step up to the larger dv6z and its optional Radeon 4650.
