ASUS X61SL CORE 2 DUO T6500 4G/500G 16" ATi 4570 GAMING

 High Definition Entertainment for the Family
Indulge in a multimedia extravaganza as the X61SL provides users with a 16-inch High Definition display, with high contrast rates, brightness and color saturation. Boasting a resolution of 1366 by 768 powered by an equally impressive integrated NVIDIA® GeForce™ GT 120M, HDMI support, the X61SL delivers cinematic audio and visual clarity with much ease.

 User Centric Functionality with Exquisite Design
The ASUS X61SL features the new generation Infusion styling from the LCD lid to the palm-rest to provide users with contemporary style. The timeless design not only looks incredibly beautiful, but it is particularly durable against surface abrasions and maintains its glossy surface even after long periods of use. A newly adopted ‘Chocolate’ keyboard continues in the same functional vein by providing users with concave keys that fit the contours of the users’ fingers, offering excellent rebounding elasticity to ease typing over long durations, while a dedicated numeric keypad provides a sense of familiarity to users who are accustomed to conventional desktop keyboards which enable speedy number input.. With smooth lines and sweeping curves the ASUS X61SL brings users both style and sophistication, whether at work or leisure.

 ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 Graphics,  

The X61SL's ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 graphics card (with 512GB of memory) gives the system solid gaming muscle; The ATI Mobilty Radeon HD 4570 from AMD is a DirectX 10.1 notebook graphics adapter. Technically it is a faster clocked Mobility Radeon 4530/4330.

The gaming performance of the ATI Mobility Radeon HD4570 should be very similar to the desktop HD 4550 which features similar specifications. Benchmarks of the desktop card showed, that the most DirectX9 titles can be played fluently in high details and 1024x768 (like Call of Duty 4, F.E.A.R., UT3, World in Conflict). Demanding games like crysis only run in low-medium detail settings in decent frame rates.

The Mobility HD 4570 is based on the RV710 chip and features 80 stream processors (16 5-dimensional shader cores). These cores do the graphic work of the shader- and pixel pipelines of older GPUs. The stream processors are also called ALUs and are grouped in five-way VLIW units. Each of the five instructions of a VLIW bundle has to be independent from the others and therefore the performance depends on the optimization of the driver.

The Mobility Radeon HD 4570 includes the Avivo HD called video technology including an onboard soundchip for 7.1 sound output over HDMI or DisplayPort and the 2nd generation UVD (Unified Video Decoder). This UVD 2 supports full bitstream decoding of H.264/MPEG-4 AVC and VC-1 streams. In addition to this, it also supports dual video stream decoding and Picture-in Picture mode which makes the UVD full BD-Live compliant. Simplified, the Avivo HD technology handles all video tasks and enables the GPU to decode HD videos.

Compared to the desktop ATI Radeon HD 4550, the mobile 4570 features a higher core clock (680 versus 600) and therefore performs a bit better than the desktop 4650
