The 5xxx mobility series seems to actually be just juiced up 4xxx mobilities (the 4870 and 4870m were both 800 core, but the 5870 is 1600 and the 5870m is 800).
The 5730m is approximately equal to a GTS 250m, or a desktop GT 220 or 4650, and I'd compare it to a desktop 5570.
If I get a mobile chip, it'll be a 5870, thank you very much.
