    Will MSI ever release an intel cpu/AMD gpu combo in the future? From what it seems is that the amd combos are very cheaply priced, but cannot perform as well as an intel/nvidia combo. The main reason I ask is that i've read the amd apus bottleneck the high end gpus. The AMD gpus such as the 7970m and 8970m are relativley cheaply priced compared to their nvidia counterparts, and I believe it would be a somewhat decent idea to offer the high end AMD gpus with an intel CPU. Sure the price will be higher than a GX series laptop, but it will still be a couple hundred dollars less than an nvidia/intel pairing. I have a feeling if they did pair an intel process with an 8970m, it would be in the same pricerange as a laptop with a 770m.

    NVidia has such a lead on the market that it's fairly unlikely. AMD has been adopted by the console market, and they introduced new hardware for tablets not too long ago; it seems they are covering their tracks, since OEMs are seeing that NVidia's quality assurance and marketing has been proven over AMDs.
