imagine a hybird tablet/laptop with amd chips:Originally Posted by tbone8ty
screen has bobcat (or whatever the next ultra low power chip will be called, i honestly forgot),
and the dock has extra battery and a trinity.
if you need good battery life or doing some simple tasks you run the smaller chip, and when you need the higher performance you run trinity.
example:
student takes tablet portion and mouse/roll-up rubber keyboard to class if needed.
student then goes to the dorm to dock his screen and loads up some crysis to his big screen tv.
student is very happy.
we pay for every little piece of hardware, when many parts probably can be reused. getting 15 hours of use out of a transformer like table that has a keyboard/battery dock is great. but then the extra motherboard with a beefier chip is all thats missing to turn it into a gaming laptop. so why pay 1500-2000$ for a tablet and then a laptop, when for 1200 we can have a product that does both, by sharing the screen, hard drive, battery, case, keyboard, ports, etc.
