60% Toshiba Satellite M640-ST2N02 14-inch Thin And Light Laptop PC
Source: Comp Reviews Archive.org version

Toshiba's Satellite M640 series laptops may be designed for power an multimedia, but the M640-ST2N02 just doesn't have enough to pull itself away from many other capable laptops. Sure, it offers some good speakers and a wide range of ports for peripheral devices and expansion but it just doesn't make up for the lack of a dedicated graphics processor or its below average battery life.

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.

460M: The Core i5-460M has only 3 MB L3 Cache (compared to the I7-620M) and clocks between 2.53-2.8 GHz (Turbo Mode). Thanks to Hyperthreading, 4 threads can be processed simultaneously. An integrated graphics card (GMA HD) and a DDR3 memory controller are also included in the package.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
