The Puget Systems Traverse line of laptops is built around a combination of performance and mobility. This 11-inch version of the Traverse trades off screen size / resolution and the lack of an optical drive for longer battery life, smaller size, and lower weight. It utilizes dual-core versions of Intel’s mobile Ivy Bridge processors, which are very efficient and have built-in graphics capability. There is also a NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M video card, and the system switches back and forth between the two display controllers depending on what you are doing. It is great for users who are always on the go, but don’t want to sacrifice performance like a netbook or tablet would require.
