I think you should go with the silver HP one. It's shiny and you can never go wrong with shiny.

the 2nd link? In terms of performance? is it the best among the 4?

I get permission denied... Because im in the UK? Maybe?
lol Llama I agree shiny is good But no iynfynity... I doubt it is the best in performance

so which one's the best in performance and durability? I really don't care for the looks.

Like I said... I can't view em
Could you give me their names then I'll tell ya

Do you just need the names?
1.HP - Laptop / AMD Athlon™ II Processor / 14" Display / 3GB Memory / 320GB Hard Drive - Biscotti
2.HP - Laptop / AMD Turion™ II Processor / 15.6" Display / 4GB Memory / 320GB Hard Drive - Silver
3.HP - Laptop / AMD Turion™ II Processor / 15.6" Display / 4GB Memory / 320GB Hard Drive - Biscotti
4. Dell - Inspiron Laptop / AMD Athlon™ II Processor / 15.6" Display / 3GB Memory / 320GB Hard Drive - Black
there it is. thanks! tell me if you want me to post the specs.

Spec's wise either 2 or 3 then Although I'm guessing the only difference between those 2 is the colours...

[Q] Is my graphics card good enough for Cinema 4D?

I was hoping I can run Cinema 4D with my current setup. I'm just planning to make intros, not anything too fancy or with "life-like" graphics. What do you guys think?

Thanks for you help

Hm..
Just try the Demo-Version: http://www.maxon.net/en/downloads/demo-version.html
and/or the Maxon Cinebench: http://www.maxon.net/en/downloads/cinebench/cinebench-115.html

doubt it - looking at that you have a intel gma which is usless at gaming unless it is a sandy bridge chip

I'm sure I have a Sandy Bridge Machine. i5, dual core @ 2.67 ghz without the turbo boosting. With Turbo Boost it is 2.97 ghz.
This is the Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 1.7 GB of memory (I think, if the screenshot I showed is accurate)

If I read correctly, the benchmark uses the same engine as Cinema 4D and uses it in real time. Should be good to use. I'll post my results later.

I also found this out Dell's Website
1024MB ATI Mobility RadeonTM HD5650
Integrated Intel® HD
On the driver CD there was a Driver for the ATI Mobility Radeon GPU but it doesn't show in dxdiag. I was wondering why I had 1.7 GB of memory for my GPU

Certain mobility solutions has the ability to utilize your physical RAM as graphics RAM when they are not in use. Not much faster, and the resolution on your monitor limits the ability to actually utilize such an amount of RAM. I reckon that for up to 720p resolutions, about 1GB is more than enough. The rest actually relies on your GPU instead.

Anyone see the Raspberry Pi? MMM delicious

Has anyone been eyeing up the Raspberry Pi? Soon to come out of the development stage into production. Looks like it would be a winner combined with a small touchscreen display and a port of ICS (with the phone stuff, etc, removed to enhance performance)
The details :The first product is about the size of a credit card, and is designed to plug into a TV or be combined with a touch screen accessory for a low cost tablet. The product will be available in two configurations: Model A and Model B. The expected price is $25 for a fully-configured Model-A system and around $35 for a Model B.

I know you wouldn't create a new thread without first searching, as specified in the rules which you read when you joined, so I assume there's something wrong with the search function. Would you like to let admin know it's not working or shall I?

I have ordered this phone plus case from Amazon. As a Belgian, the total cost of the phone, tax and duty included, is almost the cost of a S6 Edge. But I like the being a bit more original so I have chosen this phone. The specs are nice and so are most reviews. Really looking forward and I hope having it by the end of the week.

This seller is telling that sim slot 2 can take microSD too.
Is it true?

Battle of Flagship smartphone processors

The year 2022 will see one of the fiercest battles in the history between Mediatek and Qualcomm where both these brands are ready with MediaTek Dimensity 9000 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipsets respectively to grab the flagship market. Which one of these would do you think would do better?

Moot competition. There will be newer chipsets that will supersede the performance of both 9000 and Gen 1 in 6 months.
Also both vendors don't support their chipsets for more than 2 years so history will remember these clowns for meteoric rise in e-waste.

Maybe, but perhaps everything works like this. Dimensity 9000 may be so good, but every good things gets old in some days.

I don't need no stinking support
