Trinity Laptops are here

Can that APU and card crossfire?

I doubt it. I think AMD has a crossfire matrix on their website somewhere, but I'm too lazy to go find it right now😛

That said, I'm not really sure what the advantage is of having this laptop unless AMD has fixed their switchable graphics(and maybe they're giving MSI a bundle deal).
 
What a strange combo lol. 7970M would make a ton more sense with an Ivy i5/i7.

There should be some good deals with Trinity, but I'd want to see them in the $400-$500 range to really make sense, and matched up with at least 1600 ram.

first thing i thought too. MSI completely missed the point of trinity. they are just selling this to AMD purists i guess who don't care about performance.

I would assume that the quad-core mobile i5 would be too expensive for this laptop, while the dual-core i3/i5 wouldn't be much of an improvement over a10-4600m.

The point is you could use a cheaper video card to save even more money, since you will be CPU limited in a lot of cases.

The 7970m has a Pitcarnin GPU; it's essentially a HD 7870 with a 7850's clock speed. The next mobile gpu is the 7870m which has a Cape Verde gpu and much like the 7970m it's a 7770 with the clock speed of an 7750. If you put a 7870m in your likely going to be GPU limited with 1080p.
