as it says, looking for something with dual battery capability (like the dell d series) but with discrete graphics (minimum geforce 8400). the D series only offers the quadro 135.

is there anything out there with these capabilities?
thanks,
Vivan

The Quadro 135M is comparable to the 8400M if I remember correctly. The difference is the specialized drivers (CAD, 3d graphics work, etc.) for the Quadro. There are drivers out (forgot what website) that basically turn it into a regular Geforce

As for dual battery laptops, check out the Lenovo T61 but it has Quadro GPUs as well. HP might have a dual battery laptop as well but I haven't looked. What you are looking for is mostly in business oriented notebooks and a lot of the time have Quadro cards only

does anyone know what that site was? i know the cards are the same, but i hadn't been able to find any way to "convert" them.
