Great....
Still I think writing about laptop gpu's are more fun than writing lab reports.
I don't really know what to write about tho, so here goes
In the laptop field, there are 3 major gpu makers, well basically the only ones
1. NVIDIA
2. ATi
3. Intel and AMD
Nvidia and Ati are the ones focusing on dedicated graphics, usually people buy it for gaming.
Intel and AMD provides integrated graphics such as the GMA4500. These are usually for media purposes such as movies but not suitable for games. Maybe just for Counter Strike and Warcraft. Not WoW.
Nvidia and Ati has their own ways of codes for their gpu. Intel only has a handful of model but the GMA 4500 is the most common and powerful.
Here is are some links for almost every graphic card out there available for laptops.
