Id wait for the llano apu laptops coming later this month or early next. To give you an example, the fusion c-50 and e350 processors by AMD really brought some competition to the netbook space. I have never seen a dual core atom processor with ion graphics in a netbook sell for less than $500, but after the c50 was released, im seeing the dual core atom with ion gfx selling for $289.99 lol. I think the llano apu laptops will do the same thing but for gaming laptops, you will probably see alot more core i5 laptops with some type of competent gfx card closer to the 500-600 mark.
