Re: [Trisquel-users] Libre laptop in Europe

AMD is tied to ATI and nVidia graphics chipsets. This means there will be no  
support for 3d acceleration. This is why the CPU matters. Intel's graphics  
which support 3d are in the CPU itself. There are no good choices beyond it  
for laptops. While in theory a laptop which uses an AMD/nVidia solution might  
work some day it'll probably not be for 4-5 years. At which point it may or  
may not work well or at all still. With nVidia you are reliant on a  
non-trivial reverse engineering project. It is at best good for recycling old  
systems. Not something which is going to support new hardware.
