    Hey

    I am looking at the following Laptops but am confused as to which is the better. MY most demanding work on Laptop will be using it for Photo Editing so as far as im aware the graphics card is important although im clueless on all this.

    HP dv6-2105ea 15.6 inch i5-430M 3GB 500GB 720pounds
    NVIDIA GeForce G 105M

    ACER 5740 15.6inch i5-520M 3GB 320GB 600pounds
    unknown graphics

    SONY EB1Z0E 15.5inch i5-430M 4GB 500GB 750pounds
    ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 Graphics

    To me the ACER seems great value but i cant find info on its graphics card.
    Any advice or help greatly appreciated
    Thanks

    SEE here http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/acer-aspire-5740-333g25mn-04153088-pdt.html
    they are all good , the acer has intel 128meg ram, ie the other 2 laptops have faster more powerful grahics cards.prbly with 200meg vram.
    i,d go 4 the sony cos it has more memory 4gig,versus 3gig.
    or go for the 1 that has hdmi out,if you think you may need it in future.
    i know for 3d design ,or movie edits the faster the card the better, i dont know if it makes much difference re photo edits.you may wanna get windows 7 64bit version ,gives you acess to all the memory.
