    Not sure if it's best to ask here, but how is AMD's GPU switching these days? Anything seamless like Optimus? Or does the screen still black out?
    Acer 4820TG - i5-480m, HD 5650 - $675 - two and half years old, starting to feel old, maybe just need an SSD

    Possible upgrades - LG 900p screen, Momentus XT

    Next laptop (2013?): 14" 900p screen, BR-RW, ATI 8xxx series dGPU w/ 2GB GDDR6 ram, 6-core AMD or Haswell, 8GB DDR4 ram, 1 TB SSD, 6 MP 1080p webcam, Lightpeak + USB 3.0, 16 hrs battery, <4 lbs

    it actually got worse, there is some loss of performance when enduro is active, and since so far, there are no real drivers available...

    there is no loss of performance for me (afterburner says 99%) but it might be cause i OCed the card. and yeah no real drivers for it yet but i heard that's the same problem with nvidia? dont they both only have beta drivers?
    Previous Laptop: Toshiba Satallite A215 | 15" 1280x800 | Athlon 64 x2 TK - 53 | 2 gb ram | Radeon x1200 | 1 minute battery life -_- <- crappy aint it?
    Crappy Desktop: HP Pavillion | Phenom x4 9500 | 6 gb ram | Radeon HD 6770 <- not much better
    Current Laptop: HP Envy 15t-3200|i7-3720QM 2.6GHz 6MB L3 Cache (Turbo Boost to 3.6GHz)|8GB 1600 MHz RAM|750GB 7200RPM Hybrid HDD|1GB AMD 7750m|1920x1080 Radiance IPS Screen

    both are terrible this year, none have a released even a single driver that aint beta. The 7970m still has issue, but I saw that you could OC and get the 99% utilization. Im not saying optimus is flawless or that it works, it dont.

    I found a laptop that might fit into this category. Toshiba Terca R940-SMBN22 I can't find anything about how powerful the graphics card is though(AMD 7570m). I weighs 4.19lb and for 869.99 you get i5-3210M, 4GB DDR3 1600MHz, 500GB HDD 7200rpm, 1GB DDR5 AMD Radeon™ HD 7570M, 14.0" HD+ LED Backlit Display (1600x900) , 1MP webcam, and a 6-cell 66Wh battery.

    It's between the Nvidia 620M and 630M, so not so powerful... Better than integrated graphics, but hardly game-worthy
