studio 15 is a great laptop.

the only things i dont like about it are that they dont offer a p7350 cpu, and the 9 cell lifts the notebook.

[max_87]

actually they do offer P7350 CPU, the one I'm using right now has P7350, with 1920x1200 screen, but with a much slower HD 4350 :) and there was an optional 9 cell upgrade.

guess it depends when/where are you purchasing it :)

[grimREEFER]

the cheapest p series for americans appears to be the p8600.
also, yea, i know they offer a 9 cell, but it makes the laptop slanted. personally, i dont like that. some people prefer it though.

was looking at this but for an extra kick during gaming I believe

would be better due to the 4670 being much MUCH faster then the 4570, also theres the version with the 2.4ghz p8600 processor :)

I haven't had any trouble playing Team Fortress 2, COD4, etc using the 512MB 4570. It's really not a bad card. Great laptop model, too. I've been using a 1555 at home and work for a couple of months now and love it.
