Tablets with real video cards?

[Justin Dugger]

Intel's graphic chips are not going to cut it on games. They're okay
for older stuff and gee whiz 3d desktop effects, but don't expect
anything close to nvidia / amd performance at texture and geometry
intensive games.  The open drivers are nice, certainly.  But I promise
you, the cost of a gaming rig and a tablet is less than the cost of a
gaming rig tablet.
