    No Dell currently supports this, and from what I have read the latest notebooks are no exception.

    The new intel chipset supports it, but Dell has not integrated it into their systems. I dont expect they will for some time on the Latitudes since they just launched. The Lenovo and HO Elitebook systems will have it though. Keep in mind that if you are using XP, to switch between GPUs involves a reboot. Vista is supposed to be able to do it on the fly, but I havent seen it work in person on Vista.
