Intel's graphic chips are not going to cut it on games. They're okay for older stuff and gee whiz 3d desktop effects, but don't expect anything close to nvidia / amd performance at texture and geometry intensive games. The open drivers are nice, certainly. But I promise you, the cost of a gaming rig and a tablet is less than the cost of a gaming rig tablet.

In all seriousness, Intel's graphics chips have an excellent driver available for them (the new "intel" driver as opposed to the older "i810") that can even do a subset of accelerated 3D rendering with some nicety. They also have the advantage of being low-power. One of the really awesome things about using an Intel graphics chip on a laptop is the xrandr 1.2 support which pretty much guarantees that you'll be able to plug your laptop in to a projector and have it "just work".

I'm more an AMD man than an Intel man on the desktop, but I'm not willing to go that route on a laptop. That said, though, I am also highly unwilling to buy anything with an Intel/S3/VIA GPU as I may be stuck w/o my gaming rig in the near future. Can anyone recommend a tabletpc w/nvidia gpu & Intel proc that's actually available in US markets? I can't find anything at all, which seems just nuts to me.
