    Default An ultrabook/ultrathin capable of playing the odd game - promised land arrives (AMD)

    Get a load of this:

    http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Superior_Mobility/U38N/

    An AMD Trinity APU sporting four cores and 384 DX11 shaders.

    Importantly, those DX11 shaders come with proper AMD drivers that are actually compatible with games, as is not always the case with intel integrated.

    To add even more jazz it has a unibody aluminium chassis and a 1080p IPS touchscreen, both uncommon in AMD laptops (which tend to be cheaper models), and still only costs EUR800.

    What do you think?

    I am considering an ultrabook/ultrathin and am torn between this, the Samsung Series 9 and the Lenovo Ideapad Yoga. There is an asus ultrabook with a Nvidia GPU but the "optimus" GPU-swapping capability doesn't work at all under linux, which is a consideration.
