AMD PUMA Platform (for laptops)
Till now playing games or watching HD Videos on ones laptop was not such an exciting thing to do due to lack of graphic capability on the laptops.
The IGP (Integrated Graphics Platform) which typically means that the cpu also doubles up for all the graphics work, has been bane to the gaming community, the reason why IGP are choosen for the laptops is that they consume less power, less heat and hence elongated battery life as compared to a discrete graphics card and the industry thinking is that (read Intel) is that since laptops is mostly used by people to work on word documents, surf the web, watch you tube, it is ok to have a weak IGP solution.
But now its a thing of the part, AMD has broken the mold and the new 780G motherboard chipset contacins a HD3200 GPU integrated and has a Turion Ultra processor, this is the PUMA platform and is going to chage the way laptops will be percieved, if you arent satisfied with the improved graphic performance, there is a provision of an port to plug-in an external GPU which was not practical till date.

The following video compares the AMD 780G chipset with intel G35

Buying a Motherboard Simplified
I always wondered how does one decide what to buy when you are assembling a PC, One of the biggest concern is choosing the motherboard, since a lot of compatibility issue arises with what processor, graphic cards it supports.
I was never a tech enthusiast on the intricacies of the mobo (this I picked up offlate, short term for motherboard), but reading this article on techworld.nl has helped gain a good insight on motherboards and how to choose the right one for your pc.
