I was looking at 8 hour+ laptops and liked the Aspire 5820 TimelineX. I found one listed here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=ATVPDKIKX0DER .

It says it has "Intel HD Graphics 1024MB" (580T)...I have also found this laptop online where it says it has the "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 1024MB" (580TG). I am trying to figure out if these laptops are one in the same or if the 580T and the 580TG are different models. If they are different models, where can I purchase the 580TG ?

Thanks

An interesting model. The 5820T apparently has both the Intel and ATI graphics - switchable. The ATI 5650, however, can only be used when it is on A/C power - not battery.

The 5820TG seems to have only the ATI graphics. Curious.

They are different models, as far as I know the TG should be out shortly...
