HD 3850 Mobile Vidio card

As time goes by, I look at the computing world, and see a change I currently don't enjoy at all - everything is going mobile. OK, I have nothing against mobility, but there's gotta be a limit, and when it gets down to gaming, I think this is something you do on your desktop computer, in the office(only during breaks, of course!) or in your living room, on the couch, using a gaming console, and now I just heard about the Radeon HD 3850, a pretty powerful video card, going mobile...

I know, I know, the picture above shows a desktop version of the HD 3850 card from Sapphire, but don't worry, you've got another thing comin', and it's an impressive one! Think about a laptop with a powerful CPU, a lot of memory, and a mobile version of the HD 3850 card, all inside a case that looks like... you'll see that right away, but first, let's check some interesting details, shall we?

The story goes like this - while AMD didn't say anything yet, Diamond Multimedia and Smooth Creations announced the Smooth Creations "Broodling" notebook, and its configuration includes the mobile HD 3850 card, so we're probably only a few days away from the official launch.

Just look at this beauty! Jim Saling, president and chief executive of Smooth Creations, said "We’ve been developing these custom painted cases for years and this notebook is testament of Smooth Creations commitment to bring a completely outside of the desktop approach as a notebook solution."

The idea is this - if they manage to bring the mobile HD 3850 really close to the desktop version, we'll finally see some decent gaming computers that won't chew away your battery in less than an hour. After all, we've all heard about mobile SLI or CrossFire setups, but I never saw one at work, and I don't even want to think what kind of cooking machine would such a notebook make!

"Today, Smooth Creations decided to merge and unite gamers, enthusiasts, and professionals with a single solution Mobile platform that is scalable, robust, and powerful. The next round of high performance notebooks could very possible be a Skulltrail Notebook. And we are already working on that," concluded Mario Gastelum, lead engineer at Diamond Multimedia.
