Hi guys,As we are all waiting for the NGX, I have decided to invest some money into new laptop. I'm not an expert in this environment, so I'd like to hear from you guys. Currently I'm using Gateway NV52. I found this laptop online, and its specs are way better when compared to my current system.Dell XPS 15Intel Core i5-460M (2.53GHz, 4 threads, turbo boost up to 2.8GHz, 3M cache) NVIDIA GeForce GT 420M 1GB graphics with Optimus 4GB Shared Dual Channel DDR3 Memory500GB 7200 RPM SATA Hard DriveWhat do you think guys? What FSX performance could I expect from this system? How many FPS?Thanks for any help,

Short: not many... Of course it depends on what graphic detail You want to set in FSX. I bet that for the same price You could get nice desktop pc

Stable 15 FPS would satisfy me on medium-high graphic details.I don't like desktops. I'm a laptop person. It's just me :)Thanks,

Its tough to say. FSX is really more of a good Processor game, than a good video card game. So I dont know, I have an Intel E8500 duo core @3.16 GHz, and an NVIDIA XFX GeForce 9500 GT video card with 1GB of onboard RAM and my FPS is pretty solid at between 20-25FPS with PMDG and I have it maxed out at 40FPS and I can pretty much hit the 40FPS with some other planes that i have (IRIS flight sim planes, and some aerosoft helos) but in all honesty anything above 15fps is "pretty" good, anything above 25 is great, and anymore than that is awesome. what I need to do is over clock my processor........which is the last avenue of computers i have not mastered (if anyone can help me with that, that'd be great)......from what i've read over clocking the E8500 is a charm. but thats for a nother topic (which i'll probably post in a day or so)
