I just bought a basic laptop (around $500) but I was looking at all the options and checking out the video cards offered. The 4500MHD has a 3DMark 06 average score of 797 but is still able to play HD video whereas the HD4650 has an average score of 6340 which is pretty good for a laptop and I think you would be able to play almost any games. I believe the dedicated graphic card will take more power so your battery may not last as long. I settled for the 4500HD as I won't need it for gaming.
