You don't keep the two together at all times. ]]>Dec 24th 2008 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/24/fsc-amilo-sa-3650-laptop-and-graphicbooster-tested-deemed-flawe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/24/fsc-amilo-sa-3650-laptop-and-graphicbooster-tested-deemed-flawe/but anyone who wants portability and gaming this is the first real solution

although my only complaint about the system itself is that I can understand if it was made for wide range of laptops, then the available interface options probably wont have enough bandwidth but since the graphicbooster is made only for this specific laptop they should have figured out a way to make a high bandwidth connect to allow the video to be passed back to the laptop LCD. Really it's not even that complicated, just the same connection they have now, with like more pins for a hdmi, dvi, or displayport in that would go to the monitor and swtich the monitors input from the HD 3200 to the external HD 3870]]>Dec 24th 2008 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/24/fsc-amilo-sa-3650-laptop-and-graphicbooster-tested-deemed-flawe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/24/fsc-amilo-sa-3650-laptop-and-graphicbooster-tested-deemed-flawe/
Thats the only reason im not buying this thing. They give you all this power and tell you that its only available via docking solution... WHAT A WASTE!

I understand it makes a great portable, but i was thinking along the lines of me being able to play gta4 when/wherever i wanted, not next to a stationary flatscreen. If i wanted that, id just play on my ps3. So, although i was willing to spend the full price (just under 2k), im not, its no longer what i want.]]>Dec 24th 2008 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/24/fsc-amilo-sa-3650-laptop-and-graphicbooster-tested-deemed-flawe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/24/fsc-amilo-sa-3650-laptop-and-graphicbooster-tested-deemed-flawe/Dec 24th 2008 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/24/fsc-amilo-sa-3650-laptop-and-graphicbooster-tested-deemed-flawe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/24/fsc-amilo-sa-3650-laptop-and-graphicbooster-tested-deemed-flawe/

Except that their benchmarks for this GPU are about half of what I get in 3DMark 03 on my Intel 4500MHD (which is what they say the Radeon is "considerably better" than). Something does not compute. Unless they're talking about pure DX10 performance, which I haven't really measured on my Intel. Who's going to run a DX10 game on an integrated GPU, though?

I realize comparing the integrated graphics of this machine with anything else misses the point, but now that Intel has actually produced a half-decent integrated graphics chip, it would be nice to not see them continue to get ripped apart so mercilessly.
