Decrying stasis in the laptop industry, InfoWorld's Tom Yager and crew have designed their ideal laptop for 2009 given the components are available currently. The project was subjected to the same limitations manufacturers face when whiteboarding a new notebook and introduced only those components that would increase end-user productivity manyfold. The resulting AMD Puma-based WorldBook Ether and WorldBook Meteor [specs, tour, pricing] include an 'Embedded Smartphone' system-in-system ARM microcontroller, flash-memory overlay for fast boot, and ATI/AMD Hybrid Graphics for power-saving switched mode.

AMD have really pushed forward on ati drivers and it shows.
i have a HD3870 512mb PCIex card and it's been running really well with full 3D support.
ATI has gotten better every release and i really look forward to testing them each month. 8.4 supported my card officially and 8.6 gave me a lot more 3D settings to play around with.
As someone who had never owned an ati card i was really surprised at just how good it was. i won't be Nvidia only from now on.
ATI on linux isn't as laughable as it used to be.
