That used to be the case. Not anymore. Quadros are not simply marked with different drivers.

Plus, not because I want a quadro specifically, but because the top end business laptops don't come with geforces.]]>Jun 17th 2010 4:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-reviewed-fastest-mobile-gpu-to-date/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-reviewed-fastest-mobile-gpu-to-date/
Oh and about cooling, the Dell M6500 has had a 100 watt card for months now (fx 3800m), and it's known to be a cool laptop - @1.5" thick.]]>Jun 17th 2010 4:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-reviewed-fastest-mobile-gpu-to-date/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-reviewed-fastest-mobile-gpu-to-date/
I've heard of desktops thinner than that.]]>Jun 17th 2010 6:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-reviewed-fastest-mobile-gpu-to-date/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-reviewed-fastest-mobile-gpu-to-date/
Imagine that, a 17" laptop with an optical burner, two hard drives, extra mini pcie slots, 4 ram slots, and ALL the ports the MacBook is missing, and it's a WHOPPING 1.5" thick. Moron. Pluss it has a completely fla profile, making the 1.5 very slim feeling. Plus, I beleive they are counting the mounting pads in the width.

The only thing thinner is that under powered, over priced, thin yet overheating crapbook semi-pro.]]>Jun 17th 2010 7:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-reviewed-fastest-mobile-gpu-to-date/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-reviewed-fastest-mobile-gpu-to-date/

I compared it to the only thinner, comparable laptop. I didn't say you own one. So really, your problem is how thick the slimmest 17" portable workstation are? Why bother pointing that out? It's 1.5".]]>Jun 17th 2010 7:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-reviewed-fastest-mobile-gpu-to-date/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-reviewed-fastest-mobile-gpu-to-date/
Does it only support gaming/large laptops?
Can it be used in 14" CULVS?
Can it be used in netbooks?]]>Jun 17th 2010 7:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-reviewed-fastest-mobile-gpu-to-date/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-reviewed-fastest-mobile-gpu-to-date/
Mobile doesn't mean without limits; I doubt it will make it to 15" since the current 3800m (100watts) is "for 17 in systems" according to nvidia, and that's the only place you'll find it.

And a netbook? Netbook CPUs are not fast enough to let this gpu rub to it's potential, contrary to how most people beleive the CPU has nothing to do with the gpu.]]>Jun 17th 2010 10:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-reviewed-fastest-mobile-gpu-to-date/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-reviewed-fastest-mobile-gpu-to-date/i want one.

For everyday use you use a frugal integrated GPU, and your battery life is just fine and you don't heat your lap.

When you want to game or renter or do anything really GPU intensive, then you plug into an AC power outlet on a desk.

Personally though, its a bit rich for my blood, and the fastest mobile cards don't hold a candle to the fastest desktop cards.]]>Jun 17th 2010 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-reviewed-fastest-mobile-gpu-to-date/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-reviewed-fastest-mobile-gpu-to-date/
