By , Jane McEntegart
Welcome To AMD's Campus In Markham, Ontario

Located just north of Toronto, AMD keeps the fire lit in its campus' main atrium. On October 20 and 21, the company hosted ExtravaLANza, a LAN party for enthusiasts and an open exhibition area where partners like Ubisoft, Asus, MSI, PowerColor, Diamond, Sapphire, XFX, Gigabyte, Newegg Canada, NCIX, Cooler Master, NEC and SilverStone all had things on display.

    GX60 has an A10-4600M and a 7970M? That's going to be an interesting combo. :)

    with the 7970m being the cheaper high end gpu of the two with power similar to a desktop maybe like 660, along with a a10-4600m which is probably similar to a dual core i-series but probably cheaper would probably make it a pretty good budget oriented high end laptop I would think. Its more or less moving the cost of a i7 cpu to fund the more important gpu for gaming purposes on a laptop. Depending on its price, It may be able to shove around alot of laptop recommendations.

    That Sapphire Mini APU computer looks SWEET. I could imagine something like w/ Kaveri. Would be an amazing portable gaming system.
