It's usually some misprint or oversight. almost all GPUs in laptops are mobile versions for very simple reasons.

I have the i15r with the i5 and some ati vide and it's fine. I don't play video games on it but the LCD is not one of my favorites.

I also have a Samsung rc512 with very similar i7+525m and while it does heat up a little under load, the aluminum case seems to keep the unit cool.

I'd keep shopping.

I want to know which brand name is the best? I want more reliable, powerful for gaming, video editing and less heating.

That would be Apple. HP and Dell have had duds too so if we go by strictly brand (which does not infer there is any quality in the model of interest, let's go with Amazon's laptop list and see the first, most popular BRAND.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/pc/565108/ref=pd_zg_hrsr_pc_1_2_last

Look at the top 5 models. That's what folk are buying the most of.

The best gaming machines are less mainstream

Brands. The Sagers, Alienwares, Asus and MSI specialize in gaming laptops. Asus and MSI also make non gaming laptops. Alienware was purchased a few years ago because of their gaming machines. All o0f Sagers systems are confugureable and the specilize in gameing systems. HP countered that with buying Voodoo but the brand seems to have faded away. You are going to get more heat with more power. Heat is a by product of power thats a fact of life. The mainstream laptops have gotten better at gaming then in the past and Intel processors are better for gaming then they have ever been but a true gamer wants power just as a motor head wants a vette mustang or Camaro.


Sager allows you to configures systems with HD that use Raid technology the offer desktop processors and the most current gaming technologies but can be above 3000. I comparing the Dell and the HP the HP will be a better gaming machine.
