Seriously guys the graphics card switch has been on Sony SZ laptops for years

There's a link for a sony laptop review from 2006!

What a magnificent breakthrough! A switch that toggles between high performance and low performance modes!

If it cames with windows 2008 workstation.

OK, looks reasonable - but what's the price.

Nice screen but no Blu- Ray drive ?

>What a magnificent breakthrough! A switch that toggles between high performance and low performance modes!

I agree, superb idea. Now lets think what we could label the button. Ive got it..... TURBO !!

Errr, wait a minute, that sounds eerily familiar....

:)

You might want to actually *read* the article first:

"Sony's done this kind of thing before, but here it works on the fly with no need for a re-boot."

eight out of ten for effort, zero out of ten for observation, and minus eleventy out of ten for attempted-journo-pwnage.

Anyway, if it's anything like the Sonys I have used/supported over the years, the switches will fall off within twelve months!

and the battery life itself will be shite as standard, and not last longer than 18 months if the machine is used everyday.

Woohoo, this might make it last 19 months instead!

Christ we're a cynical lot.

Great idea

But how good does windoze do this?

Can linux cope with something like this as well?

Anyone know?

Reading the headline I thought this meant you could actually pull the GPU out of the machine and swap in another. Now *that* would be really useful. Upgradable GPU in a laptop... ;-)
