New to the Joybook here... Pardon my ignorance. What "hybrid performance"? Don't need BluRay here, GPU can upgrade to 1GB or not?

QUOTE(john_jay2 @ Nov 22 2009, 04:15 PM) so u get the ul80 d ? Nope. I was advised against going for a CULV.Looking at SXPS 16 i7 & Joybook Y550 i7 atm. Keeping an open mind, that's why i'm here Heard some good stuff bout the S42. Didn't see much written bout the S57 though. It's switchable graphics looks quite appealing to me. |

QUOTE(john_jay2 @ Nov 22 2009, 04:27 PM) depends on what kind of budget u r on ^^ 5~6k. With all 3 yrs warranty thrown in SXPS 16 only costs me 5k something. Convince me the Joybook is better Added on November 22, 2009, 4:32 pm QUOTE(miahahaha @ Nov 22 2009, 04:29 PM) One disadvantage with the hybrid GPU is, there are limited driver provided and also nVidia doesn't fully support the hybrid technology...so solely have to depend with those that the manufacturer released or modded ones S57 and SXPS 16 compared leh?Added on November 22, 2009, 4:30 pmIf got the budget better get SXPS 16  ...well, SXPS 16 is way powerful than S42  This post has been edited by cain: Nov 22 2009, 04:32 PM |

QUOTE(miahahaha @ Nov 22 2009, 04:35 PM) Well, S57 is the cheapest BD laptop out there...well, with that budget better go for SXPS 16... Actually i am leaning towards the SXPS 16. I'm a college kid, as long as there's a power point nearby, i'm good Well, unless you usually travel a lot and always in the need to use a battery-life long laptop than maybe you can consider S42 as with Intel GM45 can squeezed out battery for 4 hours ...its smaller than SXPS 16 ...Overall performance, SXPS16>S57>S42 Came to this thread to be convinced against my choice, hehe... |

QUOTE(miahahaha @ Nov 22 2009, 04:49 PM) Well, video editing and heavy multi-tasking is suited for i7...while for gaming a C2D is good enough as mostly not all games need a quad-core proc Good  ..For this i think SXPS 16 is the best choice for you.. I have my eyes set on the SXPS 16. But since i haven't made the purchase yet, i figured it won't hurt to explore some other options. I guess SXPS is the best thing for me then |

QUOTE(lee_what2004 @ Nov 22 2009, 04:51 PM) that time you budget is 4-5k right? Oh yeah, my bad Asus also kinda hard to find XD Asus n51vn, which pretty much same spec with p8700 y550.  1k make so much difference |

QUOTE(lee_what2004 @ Nov 22 2009, 05:04 PM) any core 2 duo is sufficient for multitasking XD For now overkill maybe... But i'm going to stick with my baby for quite some time. In the long term i7 not better meh?i7 would be overkill, frankly... ^^ |
