What GFX cards are there that are much better for a laptop?
Laptop graphics are quite different in the way they are implemented on mobile PC's.
For a start, very few Laptops have a dedicated graphics card within, most are "onboard solutions", (which is almost a misnomer).
The laptops that do have a dedicated card often have that card tied into the bios for that PC, making any upgrade difficult if not impossible.
The mobile PC industry seems clandestine and inflexible, information is not as readily available on their workings, in fact, it is often hidden. The mobile PC world is protecting this rare kind of monopoly, where they can extract high profits through these practices.
Who wouldn't want a laptop with fantastic specs at a reasonable cost? Unfortunately, the culture of the mobile pc industry is doing it's utmost to prevent such a situation, and anyone who wants great graphics on a laptop is subjected to the usery imposed on the public at large.
The public is partly to blame. Laptops are endeared as a fahion accessory, any extras are viewed by people as status symbols or whatever, (I'm immune and ignorant of fashion speak sorry). This is one of the major factors in keeping prices high. (Yuppies have a lot to answer for)
But I digress. When you buy a mobile PC, you are pretty much stuck with whatever graphics come with the laptop.
I'm not up on the latest models of laptops with good graphics, suffice to say they do exist at a price.
You want great graphics on a laptop? You better fill your wallet.
