Who getting Trinity?

^yes exactly!

Always about the money when it comes to buying laptops . Have to sacrafice certain components to get what you want, but I like AMD's thought on fusion. I prefer that it is a all around balance laptop for the price that I'm willing to buy a laptop with for now. I wonder if price of trinity is going to drop even more for black friday deals.

Looks like the strategy of pushing enthusiast in to a higher cost sku has worked out well for them....

Not with me, went with amd for the two budget systems I've built after my intel e2160 1.8ghz@3.2ghz

Many people would be perfectly happy with a i3 clocked to 4.5ghz (or even more since socket 775 dual cores used to be higher clock friendly than quads).

Bottom line with Intel is that until they lock me out of features I lock them out of revenue.

Well, all things being equal, a faster single GPU is always better than multiple slower GPUs. The upper pinnacle of performance is always with multiple GPUs, but both Nvidia and AMD have never truly perfected SLI/CF, in support, in microstutter, in scaling %, etc.

Yep. And AMD is completely retarded. In the next gen mobile products they're making a big push towards their crappy "Dual Graphics"/"PowerXpress" technology where you switch between one low power gpu for 2D, and turn on another low power GPU for 3D....because crap + crap = good...somehow.

except...microstuttering, frame time issues between successive frames etc...

Dual graphics setup might show good scaling and FPS for your fav game on benchmark sites, but that doesn't mean anything. Micro-stuttering/choppy game = death. FPS should not be used as a measure of performance for gaming.

Don't buy AMD [products].

I'm getting tired of your potty mouth. Also, this thread has been dead for a month; let it be.
