Xtreme Notebooks Dual GPU Laptop

BIOS Magazine takes a look at the Xtreme Raptor 766X a dual GPU laptop for a little more than two thousand dollars.

Virtually all laptops include only one graphics system (either a dedicated chip from nVidia or ATI), or a lower-profile chip integrated into the motherboard that delivers less powerful performance, but will stretch out the battery life.

The machine has both a GeForce Go with 256MB of dedicated DDR VRAM and Intel 910 so you can select one or the other from a converted Wireless On/Off switch on the front of the system. The only caveat is that the system must be powered-down to switch between the two modes or it will cause Windows to crash.

A very interesting concept allowing the user to change between a gaming mode, or a longer lasting word processing mode in one laptop. Smart idea in my opinion.
