More notebooks using two, and now three, GPUs

Laptops using multiple GPUs aren't new, but they are becoming more widespread. Earlier this week AMD touted the first laptop "from a major manufacturer" with two ATI Mobility Radeon GPUs, the Alienware M17. Not to be outdone, Nvidia announced yesterday that it was powering the first three-GPU laptop, the Toshiba...
