Benchmarks:
Alienware Area-51 m15x and the Apple MacBook Pro have beaten these graphics scores:

Now let us look at the review of PC Magazine briefly:

(Pros)

- The dv5 is a terrific desktop replacement filled with features perfect for today's home users.

-Integrated HD tuner
-HDMI-out
-eSATA/USB 2.0 combo port which is four times the speed of a USB 2.0 port
