Laptops that handle shaders?

My XPS M1330 runs shaders just fine at Medium. Noticeable FPS loss, but well within playable unless you plan to be deathmatching or something similar.

Anything with an AMD processor. Most laptops use onboard graphics, and because of this, your processor will be used as a graphics card. So if you have an Intel processor on your laptop, it counts as an Intel graphics card, and you won't be able to run shaders.

No no no no no. You can buy Intel processors and a separate GPU. Not sure if you know what you are talking about.

After having dealt with 3 acer laptops it's safe to say that they blow huge rooster. Low quality, bad customer service. even if they can run shaders (which i guess my last laptop could because it had amd) i won't spend another penny for anything that benefits that goddamn company or their stuffty computers.

Only the AMD A series have integrated graphics, the rest of the AMD processors (Athlon, phenom, FX) don't have integrated graphics. As for the Intel, all of their CPUs have integrated graphics however you can still have that and a dedicated GPU, you can switch between then and then I believe that Nvidia has done something so that you can use both, meaning the intel HD can be used to give off a slight boost...I could be wrong about that last one I don't remember.
