12in with discrete gpu?

White_Pawn · Nov 10, 2010

i'm curious if anyone knows if a 12in notebook with i3/g310 is on the way?

i've looked at the asus UL20FT-a1, lenovo U260, asus 1215N...

ideally, i want something with a I3-330UM (1.2ghz) and a G310 or AMD equ.

12in or less is considered an ultra portable. Discrete graphics aren't normally found on ultra portables. Apple's new MBA has a discrete gpu but uses a SU9400 and SU9600 respectively. If you need a ultra portable that doesn't play games I'd go with a Lenovo x201... best ultra portable laptop hands down. Kinda deceptive thread title. :O

Alienware M11x? Not a 12 inch, but figure its pretty close.

The only one I could think of that I didn't add!

How about this one?

Dell Inspiron M101z.

It has a "discrete" gpu, but shares the system RAM for Vram.

i've been looking at the u35jc actually, it loses the optical drive so its smaller and lighter than the u30. The u33 is outta my range.

My cousin has the m11x, but that's also out of my range. XD

The mz101 is interesting, i'll take a look into it.

for the record i just got a UL-80 a few months ago and love it. i got it off amazon for 650.

the battery life is awesome, and switching between graphics cards with the push of a button is awesome

12in with discrete gpu?
