I have been playing Civ V on a now ancient HP tm2 tablet convertible. From the first revision with the 4550 radeon, not the newer ones with 5450. Even the Sandy Bridge GPU is better than that now.
Trinity will be such an awesome upgrade for me. If they made a tablet (or convertible) I'd be all over it in a blink.
Finally we have a good platform for ultra thins coming from AMD! Uptil now I recommended people getting Sandy brigde ULV parts for 11-14" pc's. This really is good when the battery life is longer AND especially the graphics performance and capabilities are a lot better. I am not a fanboy of any sort seeing as all my PC's (except a brazos server) have Intel CPU's and I love these. For GPU's I mostly have AMD. However I would like one of these as ultra low power/mobility platforms above Intel's solutions!

Just like the end of Atom last year. Good riddance to both!extide - Thursday, February 2, 2012 - link
What are you talking about? A 17w trinity would be a 'ULV' class chip. And Atom is still around, but its in an entirely different market space...BSMonitor - Thursday, February 2, 2012 - link

Lol are you seriously asking if Trinity will have playable gaming graphics? I think you should be looking at Ivy Bridge instead for Civ 2 playability.phoenix_rizzen - Friday, February 3, 2012 - link
Go back to the articles about CES2012, and you'll find one about a Trinity laptop running 3 monitors, including a racing game on one monitor.Visual - Friday, February 3, 2012 - link
