With its large 17-inch display, roomy keyboard, and good-sized hard drive, the HP G70-463cl ($719.99 list) is a true desktop replacement notebook. Performance-wise, it won't break any speed records, but it is more than capable of handling your basic productivity and multimedia tasks, and it offers an HDMI port and draft-n Wi-Fi. Available at Costco, it is a good fit for budget-conscious consumers with limited desk space. Costco's extended warranty and support policy just sweetens the pot. HP's G70-463cl is a very reasonably priced desktop replacement system offering good battery life and a relatively large hard drive, but its performance is merely average.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD: Onboard (shared Memory) GPU built in the GM45, GE45 and GS45 chipset (Montevina). Because of two more shaders and a higher core clock, much faster than the old GMA X3100. Still not advisable for gamers (DirectX 10 games not playable or only with very low settings). The integrated video processor is able to help decode HD videos (AVC/VC-2/MPEG2) , e.g., for a fluent Blu-Ray playback with slow CPUs.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

Intel Core 2 Duo: This is the Core Duo and Core Solo successor with a longer pipeline and 5-20% more speed without more power consumption. As an addition to the Core Duo design there exists a fourth decoder, an amplified SSE-unit and an additional arithmetical logical unit (ALU).

The Core 2 Duo for laptops is identical to the desktop Core 2 Duo processors but the notebook-processors work with lower voltages (0.95 to 1188 Volt) and a lower Frontside bus clock (1066 vs 667 MHz). The performance of equally clocked notebooks is 20-25% lower than Desktop PCs because of the lower Frontside bus clock and the slower hard disks.
