Think NASCAR. Sure, it might not be worth it to Google alone, but imagine a laptop "sponsored" by 15-20 vendors, each with their logo emblazoned on the case or the home screen.

From a marketing standpoint this is indeed a much better demonstration of the technology, especially considering nVidia's target audience of nerds.

"Moving from computers to consumer electronics is dangerous for Apple. It's especially dangerous if the company thinks that MP3 players and its variants are the future."
