That is an insanely powerful chip for its specs IMO. It looks like fusion is going to be in my next laptop for university a few years down the road unless intel beats them with SB or whatever's after SB. To be completely honest, in my experience, at university, there are three uses for laptops, notetaking/reading/research (easily adequate), light gaming (adequate), and for some specific people, heavy CPU usage programs such as rendering which is the only thing I'm not too sure on for fusion. If the program supports using the GPU to assist the CPU for stuff like that then AMD just got me to buy something other than their graphics cards.
