NVIDIA Optimus - Truly Seamless Switchable Graphics and ASUS UL50Vf
As far as laptops go, the UL50Vf is a decent design but it's definitely not our favorite product ever. ASUS deserves some praise for being first, and the best part of the laptop is the Optimus technology we just finished praising. However, Optimus is set to launch in numerous other laptops in the near future and we expect some of the upcoming models will surpass the UL50Vf in several areas. Arrandale models will offer improved performance, and we should see 13.3" laptops with the same components as the UL50Vf. We should also see 15.6" laptops with a faster GPU, and Alienware's M11x has a GT335M in an 11.6" chassis—though we haven't been able to confirm whether the M11x uses Optimus or if it uses the older gen2 switchable graphics. http://www.anandtech.com/mobile/showdoc.aspx?i=3737&p=1 |
