    Hi guys, I was wondering about the power of the x201 tablet's graphics card. I would like to know if it can smoothly handle programs such as Catia V5R19, Auto CAD and SolidWorks. Also, how does it compare to the ATI graphics card found in the HP touchsmart tm2?

    Thanks,
    Mike

    You may want to post this question on tabletpcreview.com forum.

    According to reviews, the new Intel graphics card is about 50% better than the old one (it goes up to 1500 from 1000 points). But it's no way near the ATI card's performance.

    HP's tm2 has a narrower viewing angle though.

    the intel graphics card only allows very basic CAD software usage, anything slightly complex will chock it.
