Ouch is that $2500 US dollars ?
That is not a good price if in US dollars and also the new Pentium M Centrino Sonoma upgrade (faster RAM, new faster bus speed, new chipset, faster integrated RAM or new PCI Express bus for dedicated video, new wi-fi A, B and G and less interference (no A prior), etc.
Don't buy older technology now and I don't like that pricing at all -- you should be able to get all that for around the $1500 range or at least under $2000
Note that the new Sonoma Centrino notebooks have a 533mhz system bus (400mhz before) and the Pentium M cpu will end with a 0 not a 5 -- thus the new Pentium M 1.6 Sonoma is the 730 wheras before it was the 725 1.6 ---
i need to buy a notebook for university, but i also want a computer that will pack a fair punch and run a few good games...
so i got a quote on the following notebook (my specs):
LS50CSVA - LG High-Tech Centrino Notebook
- Intel Pentium M Processor 1.6GHz Clock Speed
- Microsoft Windorws XP Professional
- 512Mb DDR (Upgradable up to 2Gb)
- LCD: 15" SXGA+ (1024x76![]()
- Graphics: Intel 855PM + ATI Mobility Radeon 9600
- 60Gb
- DVD +/- RW
- Wireless: Intel Pre/Wireless Mini LAN Card 802.11 b/g
- 2.7Kg (Including 6 cell standard battery)
- standard carry bad with notebook
- 1 year return to base warranty
and i got a quote of $2500
i know its a good price and a good laptop, im just looking for others opinions and ideas on what games it will run relatively smothly on low res & graphics....
thanks all ![]()
