    Anyone have a list? I'm curious to see which is the cheapest, but also to see what graphics cards they make use of.

    The only one I know of so far is the Lenovo Thinkpad T500 with the HD 3650. But I'll admit, I haven't been searching too hard.

    Lol that'll erase the notion of "cheap" but yeah, it has switchable graphics (9400M+260M/280M)

    T400 (4500MHD/ATI 3670)

    m15x as well

    Also the NEW M15x SHOULD have it going with the student/Dell trend :)
