Hardware, Embedded Systems 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.

Thats not true at all, I was abel to run a lot of my games through wine with no issues at all. GTA:Vice citry ran rather well, Warcraft 3 runs pretty good. Need For Speed: Most wanted runs fine. Sure there are thinsg not supported through wine, but it does work.
