I know it isn't. You can add Deus Ex Human Revolution and BioShock, which run very smooth on 720p on Intel 3000.

I'm just going to chime in that I love my gaming laptop. Tri core cpu + amd 5650 plays pretty much anything I want. I don't use it until I go back to my hometown where my best friends are and we lan often. So lugging all that hardware with me is rather bothersome when I can just plop my laptop in my bag, go to the lan and play anything and everything I want with no slow downs. Most games we play max out just fine. Only a 700 dollar laptop too.
There is a market for them for those of us always on the move. However...it'll never replace my <3 desktop <3

Multimonitor support is something I agree is one area where laptops cannot offer real solution, and the problem is there are not enough hardware connectors. But not everyone needs that. Even I dislike the idea to some extent, and prefer to just replace with one larger screen. And we're power users. The vast majority of computer users need none of that. Indeed, for the causal office user, where word, internet and video watching is required, a laptop is better suited for the job than the desktop+laptop combo, and let's face it, that is the majority of users. The fact that even these casual users are voicing a bad opinion of Windows 8 is indicative that merging of a tablet OS and a desktop OS is not a desired outcome of the future of computing. |

At my moms place, they have 4 laptops and 1 pc.
The pc gets neglected as fuck, they only use the laptop or pad all the time.

But if you ain't gaming, laptops are a much preferred solution. Less noise, less heat, much less space, elegant, powerful enough for almost anything, mobile. With the MacBook Air (and other ultraportables), the size and power variables are even more moot, as these tiny things are workhorses (considerably for their size), while being very nice to carry. Please don't compare a laptop to a tablet. Tablet also has its place, it is very nice to consume data on, for instance. Reading on the iPad, especially with its high-density screen is very nice.
However, and there's a large one, an OS for one does not fit the other, and vice versa. Microsoft has to do this welding to ensure an artificial potential to their market, and fool developers into thinking this is the future, and they should invest in their platform. |
ok iam sorry i actually wanted to write "netbook" instead of "notebook"

Right now OS X and Windows 7 are the most elegant OSes out there, and Windows 7 isn't the direction MS is taking.
In before some Linux nubcake posts how elegant a Linux can look, and I'll post some software screenshots. Software != OS, but it all has to be taken under account.

Um.. no. The recently announced list of titles are all XBLA games, most likely all created in XNA which is cross-platform.
