You failed to read.

Read my post again, I speak from the viewpoint of getting a "desktop replacement notebook".
I made my points,
1) i7
2) SSD
3) He can't get "desktop replacement notebook" with 3K.

The conclusion is, he can't get a "desktop replacement" notebook with 3K.
Desktop is still faster and better option in that sense.

Is it so difficult to understand?

and to be fair, some ppl are still using P4, 512MB Ram and a 6600GT for their desktop, so if they mean a laptop can can give them similar performance and experience to their current desktop, i think a laptop around 3k can give them even faster experience...

the term 'desktop replacement' is really subjective, for gamers and enthusiast or high end fan boys, it's always overpriced, but for normal home users that do lite surfing, word processing, watching movies once in a while and doing normal photo-editing, a 3K laptop would be enough i'd say...

photoshop can always use nVidia CUDA to help performance boost, a simple fact of GPU > CPU in raw performance

i made a statement on the term 'desktop replacement' already...

and u are asking where did TS mention he needs portability? from right the start, he wants a laptop, and second, he says preferably 15'', if he werent up for portability, he would already specify size doesnt matter...

since u are so positive on what u are suggesting is best for TS, show me la, which laptop can have SSD + i7 that is only 3k?

i wouldnt be bothered if u are suggesting someone with high budget that kind of spec...but OPEN UR EYE AND READ PROPERLY my friend, it's 3k budget, RM3000, not $3000 USD, so u either get back to real life and suggest a proper spec for him, or just stay away from this tread and find some enthusiast laptop performance thread and brag about ur i7+SSD, we care about value here...obviously SSD aint the best one with it comes to size/price, and most of us here, including TS, wouldnt mind sparing another 20 seconds on boot instead of paying another few thousands for that 'Ultimate Creation' called SSD that u like so much...


and also, TS just say desktop replacement that can run PS and some apps, he didnt say boot up, load photoshop and all the other application in 10 seconds

What is Intel G6950? I don't know what is G6950.
Assuming this is desktop, i think it's old desktop. WD Green 320GB? It pales when it compares to Velociraptor.
SSD is the "faster than Velociraptor" for notebook.
Moreoever, 7200rpm notebook HDD is slower than desktop WD Green 7200rpm 320GB.
So, moving from WD Green 7200rpm 320GB to 7200rpm notebook HDD is a DOWNGRADE.

I'm not suggesting thread starter to spend 3K to downgrade system (unless he owns a P3 or P4 desktop system).
Who fails to understand desktop-replacement notebook?

haven't you heard that VIP tag = bigger e-penor?

Astria is one of the fella which deserve that tag for all his contributions in this subtopic.

It's getting a bit tense here. Chill guys and girls. Actually I was looking for a desktop replacement notebook, which can actually replace my desktop at home. Main reason is because I want to cut down on my electricity bill, as the power consumption when using a desktop is actually higher than using a notebook (read from some website), and also having a notebook rather than a desktop actually saves space (and less wiring and cables here and there). This notebook will be stationary at home (most of the time) and used by my family members (including me). It need not be that powerful (ie i7) as although I may be using some photoshop and premiere pro here and there, it will just be for some light assignments or for fun. Rendering and speedy processing of files do not matter. =) Anyway, thanks for your inputs! Sure I will be considering some of the laptops recommended here.

of course desktop consumes more power... juz the CPU (Intel, dual core) already 65W TDP... probably already more than wat a laptop requires... laugh.gif

however, i ve to admit that desktop brings much more performance than a laptop (for the same price), easier to upgrade (thus won't become obsolete easily), and easier to maintain (spoil parts, juz swop)...

perhaps u can consider some of the low powered desktop hardware??? for eg AMD Athlon II x4 610e is merely 45W TDP, coupled with HD5730 (18W TDP idle)...
