Both are on linux 3.0.4. Both are running gnome 3 in fallback mode. Both
have identical 1920x1080 monitors connected through HDMI ports (The laptop's
LVDS is disabled).
Presumably the desktop is a stronger system with a faster CPU and comparable
GPU (don't know much about the differences).
When I drag a window via the title bar on the laptop, everything is smooth;
the window stays with the mouse cursor.
When I drag a window via the title bar on the desktop, it's sluggish; the
window lags behind the cursor.
Is it likely that something is configured incorrectly, or is there something
implemented in the intel driver that is missing from radeon?
You might be running is sw mode if you do not have the radeon
microcode packages installed. Check your dmesg output and xorg log.

Thanks Alex. I have listed the firmwares I have installed. I do not see anything
explicitly for RS880, but I do see R600. There is a line in dmesg indicating the
RS780 microcode is loaded. Is this the wrong one? This is my gpu:
