    I've searched everywhere and can't find any comparisons of the 2 gpu's. Yes people say the AMD gpu will be better than the intel gpu and the intel proc will be better than the amd proc but i see no concrete evidence to back those claims up. Anyone know of anything out there comparing them?

    Nobody has seen the Intel ULV CPUs yet so the only thing we can do is extrapolate based on scaling of clock speed. You'll have to wait a bit for concrete evidence.

    my guess is AMD will be better for sure.. Intel might have improved their sandy bridge graphics but their ULV ones are usually very downclocked so i doubt they can beat AMD.. AMD has a winner with their new platform.. makes atom look like a joke.

    man that new hp dm1z with the amd fusion proc killer deal 425 dollars with 3gb ram and 320gb hdd. I'm thinking I can sell my envy 14 and get by with this. Also 6.5 hours battery life wifi on browsing the web. All my hardcore gaming I do on my desktop. I play a 2d MMORPG called tibia and yes it's just 2d graphics and thats really the only game i care about playing on my laptop. Im sure the fusion gpu can handle a 2d game. It's got graphics from like 2002. I need the extra money cause I wanna do a double water cooling system for my desktop gpu's and proc cut down the noise output.

    If it's got 2D graphics, you might be in trouble because a lot of those games use the CPU rather the GPU and the C-350's CPU is pretty awful. Still, it's worth a try -- as long as the game wasn't actually made in 2002, you should probably be OK.
