Hello community,

i am thinking of buying a laptop and i am struck with dell studio and sony vaio. both hace same spec but the difference is with graphic card. dell offers ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5470 - 1GB and sony offers NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 330M - 512mb. which one is better? need help

thanks in advance...
 
that is why i am confused... benchmark for 330m is around 12k (given max memory of 1 gb ) and hd 5470 is around 6k... so what to do???
 
Well, is the GT330M more expensive, and if so, do you need it? It's decent for gaming with low-medium quality settings on modern games, you can probably max out older ones. If you just need a half decent graphic card for w/e, very light gaming or anything, just go with the Mobility HD 5470 if it's cheaper. Memory size won't matter, no doubt the resolution is too low to make any use of it.

If you can't decide, then get the Sony if you like Sony, Dell if you like Dell. 😉
