    I'm a little confused. I thought I had read somewhere that Laptop GPU will perform close but slightly slower than their desktop counterparts. Looking a few of the reviews then comparing those results to video card comparison at Toms hardware that doesn't seem to be true.

    For instance:

    The Toshiba P100-222 reviewed Sep 22 had a overall 3DMark06 score of 3534 with a SM 2.0 score of 1363.

    When I go to Toms hardware the SM 2.0 score is equivilant to a Geforce 6800 ultra, and less than the Geforce 7600GT (1583).

    Now I understand there are differences in processors, Ram, motherboard etc, but shouldn't you see something in the 1900 range?
