Well most people think that it is just another c2d but in reality it is more than that. Althought current model of santa rosa is not equipt with Turbo Memory but they wireless draft-N the later model (another generation of santa rosa) will be equipt with 3.5G or wimax. You can see below link is the different between previous and latter version.
It has differences.
Review of Santa Rosa
Centrino Comparison

well i prefer cheap what os you use i don't really care. Nowadays it is kinda expensive for laptop. Let look at sony, fujitsu, acer travelmate, toshiba and lenovo. At the price that they are selling it is quite premium with nothing special to offer.

i think it is best to wait than to speculate.

hahaa i would say the spec just put vista ultimate to indicate it can install the high end OS. but in reality it might just include vista basic.

how you know. I always see him online.

haha no wonder la

GT is the stronger version higher clock/mem rate compare to GS. GS is slightly above G7700 while GT is between Go7600GT and Go7700.
For example G7700 score around 2500 and 8600Gs can score around 2600 while 8600Gt score around 3300. something like this. Not exact value but more or less to the real thing.

Just a G8600GS, not the premium 8600GT. the performance on 3dmark06 roughly 1k differences.
That why i think acer gemstone really shine here. but CNET asia say no good no good..
Have to wait and see when it arrive.

HP pavillion HDX "The Dragon" is using ATI card.

Yeap it is a huge Laptop, this is what they mean by desktop replacement. So it can't be called as desktop, conclusion still laptop.

Ps : Toshiba Qosmio G40 is a 17" desktop replacement, can be found on yesterday in tech which cost at RM10999.

I think this should be replacement for the DV9000 series which is a desktop replacement

what to do there is nothing much new about BenQ, have to wait after available to malaysian.

BenQ must give option like upgrade processor.

Dedicated until 256 if not mistaken, only GT series is until 512mb. But it is depend on the manufacturer to put 256 or 512. The rest is shared.

It is not a must but you also say only dell. I do believe HP doing the same on selected model only. If BenQ do the same thing also won't be bad.

I dont think it will happen in our life time. Reasons:
1. Small laptop not much airflow, greater than 8600GS will producted too much heat.
2. Resolution too small for GT version on 14", unable to utilize fully the 8600GT.

Well it is true if there is a powerful graphic is always an attractive on any size of laptop. Let do hope that technology improve faster than we can imagine.
Nowadays mostly the powerful one is on 17" or greater.

No such option oh.

Haha long way to go. Never seen any x26ooXT in the market. What else about x26ooHD, that will be even longer. Hopefully AMD don't bankrupt first.
Yeah X2600HD is medium range, i would make it the performance is between 8600GS and 8600GT. Still is a speculation only based on x2600XT. Hopefully it is over 8600GT.

I think he say we all upgrade to vista.

Got new machines works great on vista, oldies machines sure cannot use vista.

Actually do the goods come on tomorrow and you sell it on Wednesdays?
