Comment

ATI Radeon Xpress X1270:

Only older games can be played fluently with these graphics chips (if they were not too demanding). Shared memory graphic cores in this category got the advantage of less heat production and longer battery runtimes. For office, internet, image processing, and video editing tasks these graphics chips are still useable without any restrictions.

AMD Athlon 64 X2 (Hawk-256):

TK-53:

17.1": Nowadays, meanwhile the 17 inch display size is a more frequently offered standard format for desktop-replacements. 17 inch laptops are built only in 16:10 format.
The DTR-Laptops can't be carried easily, need much current, but on the other side texts can be read easily and high resolutions are no problem. DTR mainly are intended for stationary usage on desks, where the weight and the energy need are unimportant.

>> To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

3.2 kg: This weight is average for notebooks. Therefore the numerous mass of laptops with 15 inch display fits in this class of weight.

MSI: MSI is known as a notebook manufacturer MSI since 2005 and sells its mobile computers worldwide, but with modest market shares. Nevertheless considerable amounts of reviews are available for MSI-notebooks. Up to now, the price-value ratings resulted well and led to top ratings in this category.

65%: Such a bad rating is rare. There exist hardly any notebooks, which are rated worse.
