We are gonna see this mostly put into 15.6" 720p TN bottom barrel laptops anyway. PC laptop makers just don't get it and thinks their cost cutting SKU flood strategy is going to work forever.

and IB coupled with HD4000 will perform worse than the AMD setup any day...

Just to point out, obviously you are talking about graphics, not CPU performance. However, since I want to game, I would only consider AMD in the low/mid price area. I am hoping trinity will perform in the range of the current GT540/550 discrete cards. This would satisfy me for light to moderate gaming.

However, for a true gaming laptop, I would still go with Intel and a discrete GPU. The lineup is a bit confusing, but I believe the GT640 is much improved over the 540.

Edit: anybody know what the release date for Trinity on the latop is supposed to be??

What you consider low/mid priced commands the highest prices. People are willing to pay a premium for better screens, smaller form factors and more battery life and a beefy iGPU is great for that.

You do realise the market is already full of those crap powered by Intel? What chance you think AMD is gonna have?

Every year there are people buying for the first time, replacing old tech and so on. New stuff sells all the time and if they make their product appealing to certain crowds it will sell.

Which is meaningless if you can only get the AMD setup in cheap craptops. Hopefuly we'll get some Trinity laptops with decent screens and build quality.

I agree and it's about time but i doubt it. Intel has very nice chips about to be released IMO.
