I heard the hp/Compaq nc6000 is now out in malaysia

--->The first with a MOBILITY RADEON 9600<---

~ Should play Half Life 2 and Doom III smoothly

Anyone have 3dMark2003 or 3dMark2001 SE scores for it?

How much does it cost?

Are there any other similar notebooks with M-Radeon 9600 or FX5700-Go Graphics Processors?

I recently got my Dell Inspiron 8600

For RM6100 i got:

1.4ghz P-M
512mb 333mhz DDR SDRAM
40GB HDD
CDRW/DVD combo modular
15.4" WXGA screen. Ultrasharp 35ms screen
and most importantly, a 128MB MOBILITY RADEON 9600 PRO (M10-p)
weight, 3.1kg with optical drive.


It is GREAT! BF 1942, UT2003, CS, runs flawlessly at highest settings.
3dMark2003 score is 2763 *with default drivers etc. Not clean XP reinstall. Out of the box test.


One Gripe. The build quality was sacrificed abit to cut costs perhaps.
Its fine for my usage pattern(at home) but if you intend to bring your notebook back and forth from the office daily getting an inspiron is NOT A GOOD IDEA.

looking for a notebook with bleeding edge graphics for under RM7000? The Inspiron 8600 is an excellent choice. Mine arrived on the third business day after i ordered it.
