    Hi
    Just a quickie...Current 5102wlmi has ati radeon 1100 xpress graphics card. Looking at the 5633, which just states 'integrated graphics' on the specs. Whats the difference??
    Cheers in advance

    Integrated graphics usually means that the video chipset is actually part of the motherboard, as opposed to a separate physical module.

    IGP's will not seat you into the Starship Enterprise but it does get some good games done. I ran GTA:VC with a celeron M 1.5 ghz with a GMA 900 and 512 ram. it was great!

    but yes... if you want great performance, try looking up the line.

    searching the web... DID AMD BUY ATI??? WHERES ATI'A CORPORATE WEBSITE????

    http://global.acer.com/products/notebook/as5100.htm

    i think that model comes with the same GPU/IGP

    the Aspire Series 5100 comes wiith the ATI 1100

    i hope that helped... and didnt confuse
