You mean Toshiba L650?
i5 isn't Quad core, its a 2 core with 4 thread.
Which ATi? It could come with HD5145 or HD5650.
If its HD5650, it would be better deal.

and ime not 100% on the graphics. i only know its ATI. i can have another look but it wont be untill tomorrow

[lee_what2004]

each core act like as if its a 2 core,
and yes it will show as 4 cores in task manager,
where the Quad core will show as 8 cores in task manager (4x2=8)

Get more info first.

The Core i5 and i7 series have a feature called "hyper-threading." This means that each physical core will show up in Windows as two virtual ones. Pretty awesome for multi-tasking.
The Core i5 also has a function called Turbo Boost that overclocks one core by a few hundred MHz automatically if the other core is idle.
Get more info, then check back here.

And the T9300 is at 2.5 GHz - gotta remember that.

[chris9191]

ok i found out that it was only 2 cores with hyper threading.

but the graphics is only intel chipset...

so what you think?

i know this mite not be nice but the other guy dont know much about laptops. so if i could i take out the nvidia 9500m gs. and the screen still works on the orginal chipset? and also i can put in my old CPU 5800 or something like that

and what are the chances of the toshiba laptop having a graphics slot?

None- Toshiba won't have an MXM slot and 6920 won't work without its MXM card. Overall it's not an upgrade.
You'd be better off upgrading you MXM card- that’s if you're into gaming.
If not leave it as it is IMO.
