    No actually Radeon Xpress 1100/1150 is the best integrated card out there AFAIK, it does a good job on most games out there, but don't expect high detail.

    Pretty nice laptop design & spec wise. If you're not looking for anything too high end definitely for that Acer. It looks like it's selling for about the same price on eBay.

    I went ahead and bought this this morning with the free printer as well for 529.00 out the door, I hope this is better than my laptop by a good margain since I plan on selling my xps m140.

    It has Vista, first time I'm using it....
