We’ve got few laptops that come with discrete GPUs and a dedicated switch that can be turned on or off as per user’s needs.

Nvidia is yet to detail its Ion 2 platform but the Taiwanese rumormonger is claiming they’ve already landed orders from Acer.

The core specifications include Atom 330 dual core processor, [...]
