That G210 is awesome. I've gotten near 4,000 3D Mark 06, can play Crysis on Medium at native res. Dragon Age, BioShock, Mass Effect all play beautifully.

And when it's time to watch Hulu/Netflix in bed, I switch it to integrated graphics (on the fly), and get 8 hours battery life.

It's basically a full-fledged laptop with the weight and size of essentially a MacBook Air, for half the price.

No complaints here!]]>Jan 4th 2010 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/asus-ul30vt-a1-pops-up-on-amazon-for-pre-order-silver-5600mah/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/asus-ul30vt-a1-pops-up-on-amazon-for-pre-order-silver-5600mah/http://bit.ly/asus-ulv30vt-details]]>Jan 5th 2010 10:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/asus-ul30vt-a1-pops-up-on-amazon-for-pre-order-silver-5600mah/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/asus-ul30vt-a1-pops-up-on-amazon-for-pre-order-silver-5600mah/Jan 4th 2010 6:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/asus-ul30vt-a1-pops-up-on-amazon-for-pre-order-silver-5600mah/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/asus-ul30vt-a1-pops-up-on-amazon-for-pre-order-silver-5600mah/

right now there is a Linux module to switch on/off the card, but it will need at least an X server logout and login. We aren't at the same level of functionality that Windows has for this laptop, but other switchable graphics laptops are screw'd up in Windows 7, and no updated drivers are available. On OSX, the switch also needs a logout and login, BTW :-)]]>Jan 4th 2010 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/asus-ul30vt-a1-pops-up-on-amazon-for-pre-order-silver-5600mah/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/asus-ul30vt-a1-pops-up-on-amazon-for-pre-order-silver-5600mah/

My last laptop was a sony FW series, 16.4 inch, 6.2 lbs, with blu-ray burner. I replaced the HDD with a 7200rpm sea-gate and lowered the voltages on the processor and still added about 30 min of batter life to the sucker. I loved it, but it was unnecessary since my desktop had a q9550 that i got running @ 3.6ghz and 1133mhz 5-4-4-10 ddr2 (i've had it for a long time) and more boring specs and so on, whatever.
