Many might agree that the use of an ATI Mobility Radeon HD3670 is a surprise, if not even disappointing. There is absolutely no question about the HD3670 belonging to the rather powerful middle-class video chips, which are about as powerful than a 9600M GS from nVidia. But, the 9600M GT and the 9650M GT graphic cards, which are also often used in compact multimedia notebooks, are even slightly better than the HD3670 form ATI, in terms of performance in some benchmark tests.
