You can get yourself a external GPU, but for that you have to connect to a regular monitor, which defeats the purpose of mobility.

Wow... I've always thought that external GPU was impossible.

But how exactly does the fan get air to cool the GPU?

In the case of that one in the link, if you look at one of the pictures at the bottom, you'll see that the case has a mesh on the side for ventilation.

You can power things up externally, not impossible

I just saw a friends "HP mini" and i'm in love with it. It's like really good and small. He got it for like 160 $, second-hand. I looked if Unity runs on it and ya it does and so does maya but not so heavy stuffs. But I dont really work with huge polys. Money is tight right now with job not paying me enough so i've taken a freelance job. Hope I get enough money for it.

You're giving up on large for sake of a 15.4 or 15.6 screen and looking for something Netbook school related? I wouldn't recommend the Acer netbooks or Asus eePC, since it's too out-dated, the trend now is Ultrabooks, but even that has hit a snag, so try and get one of the last generations, the Atom at 1.6Ghz is only a step above the original Pentium4 in clock speed, which was 1.4, same as the Tualatin Celerons and P3s

I'm really into compact.... >.< I like my laptop to be small and very portable. So HP mini is bad? I'll truy and look out for atom processor. Though shouldn't it be like really expensive?
