I ran a 1080p(yup a p, not 1080i which is a less advanced format) video on VLC player(people who know VLC player know how processor/graphic intensive it is) and to my amazement the processor speed didnt reach 2ghz. Or else you can only run games in only one of the cards of your choosing. Get it and run your old DirectX 9 games in Dx10/11 mode and enjoy the power of 2 cards simultaneously. So for those games you will have the power of 2 cards working simultaneously called the CrossFire Mode! For Games released under Directx 9, game companies have released a patch for it to run in Direct x 10/11. And here comes the good part, some games (DirectX 10 and DirectX 11) can utilise both the cards simultaneously. I made the entire windows, and most of the programs run on the 512MB onboard graphic card, while graphic intensive programs like video players, and games, i diverted to the Dedicated "High performance" Card. Onboard graphic card(6480G) is a "power saver" card as well which consumes less watts than the 1Gb dedicated card(7450M). And the most awesome thing is you can get to choose which tasks require which graphics cards manually. One onboard(512Mb shared), and one dedicated(1 GB dedicated memory). One of the most unique feature of this laptop has is 2, yes.
I haven't experienced it yet but a friend of mine who plays Battlefield 3 says that it shoots up to even 2.5Ghz when playing that game. When playing high demanding games its speed becomes 2Ghz automatically. This not only saves battery power, but also prolongs the life of your laptop as heating is the single most reason why electronic components fail. So the processor adjusts its speed according to the task you are doing. The secret behind this is the Processor runs at only 0.8Ghz(800Mhz) when you are just browsing, typing word documents, listening to songs, or any tasks which do not require much processor power. And let me tell you, the Processor is amazing!! This Laptop doesn't heat up even while operating for long hours, and the battery stays on longer. It goes by the name of Llano and is an excellent processor for Gaming and HD videos. So when you get this laptop make sure you buy at-least another 2GB of RAM. 2GB is NOT OK! I added additional 4GB of RAM when i purchased it. Yea, RAM and Hard Disk in this Laptop is not much. But the 3 components given above cannot be upgraded ever. RAM and Hard Disks can be upgraded and even external Hard Disks can be added if desired. And the components which cannot be upgraded are Processor, Graphic Cards and Ports.
Or in other words components which cannot be upgraded. Normally when choosing a laptop, go for components which cannot be changed. If you are a guy who doesn't change laptops every 3 years and sticks to one for atleast 7 years, Read on.
