Hola!

Thought I would indulge in some mindless speculation and interesting related technologies regarding the next MacBook Pros.
I saw an article on Engadget (http://i.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nvidia-optimus-automates-graphics-switching-promises-the-best-o/) about NVIDIA Optimus which sounds interesting as I’m sure apple would like to keep the switchable graphics solution they currently have on the MacBook Pros to maintain claims about the battery life.

One thing I’m not sure on (I think I get confused too easily) is the diagram about the choice of graphics IGP or NVIDIA, as before the IGP (integrated Graphics processor?) it mentions about an Intel driver. So this means Intel integrated graphics only for Optimus?

Here's a link to their "white paper" (page 8 onwards seems interesting):

Roll on next Tuesday (or the one after, or after that etc!)
