Vortex III with Optimus?

[dangro474]

Evening,

I noticed that unlike the Vortex II series, the Vortex III series boasts Optimus Technology in the cliff notes.

Will the Vortex III laptops include switchable graphics?

The Vortex III series do boast Optimus Technology which can be controlled through the installed software. It will therefore conserve battery life where possible.

Fantastic, that really helps bridge the gap between gaming laptops and "hurrr i buy maacbook air for teh battery lifes".

Are there any estimates on battery life while operating the HD 3000/4000?

We just did a battery test on the 15.6" Vortex III playing a movie - 170 minutes. Previous Vortex II was 100 minutes.
