Oem builds and laptops. Sounds like some decent tech in theory.

Desktop-wize I'd be interested if the graphics partner under the hood can be easily disabled or not. Perhaps that's not their target audience.

Be fair tho. A C2D-esq chip with something x3000+ in 1 package sounds very useable. The Intel graphics chips aren't that bad.

Be very impressed if AMD made an x2 chip with some x1150+ under the same hood.
