Thanks Alan, for the good information! I will soon have to order one
or two machines for my workingplace, good to know what to avoid.

My U45JC has an i5-450M CPU and the Nvidia Geforce 310M, I guess it's
only using the integrated Intel GMA (which works flawlessly and fits
my needs). The X53E doesn't have any Nvidia graphics and uses the
integrated graphics from the i5-2450M CPU (which also runs great).
