[QUOTE=darth-veger;27477009]Sandy Bridge - Mobile Processor February 20, 2011[/QUOTE] Woo, in time for the April MacBook refresh :woop:
aren't these Sandy Bridge processors? [img]http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/6236/capturekz.png[/img]
Don't think so
[QUOTE=Jaehead;27477393]aren't these Sandy Bridge processors? [img_thumb]http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/6236/capturekz.png[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] Looking at the model number I would say yes. IIRC, all the Nehalem mobile CPU's had 3 digit model numbers and the Sandy Bridge have 4.
[QUOTE=MacTrekkie;27477723]Looking at the model number I would say yes. IIRC, all the Nehalem mobile CPU's had 3 digit model numbers and the Sandy Bridge have 4.[/QUOTE] That's what I was thinking too, but supposedly they didn't come out yet?
[QUOTE=Jaehead;27477740]That's what I was thinking too, but supposedly they didn't come out yet?[/QUOTE] Maybe it's for a computer on backorder/preorder? That had me confused also.
dont get samsung qx410 it doesnt have proper available drivers for it's graphic card and only runs blackops on low graphics shit i only get 10fps on low when im playing on my qx410 and its brand fucking new oh theres also no numpad on the keyboard for the qx410 so its not good for gaming on gmod either it does give me like 50 fps on gmod though, just not higher end games

And if so you have a nvidia 310m right? If that is correct [url=http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook-win7-winvista-64bit-260.99-whql-driver.html]here[/url] are the drivers for it. That is if you have 64 bit windows 7 at least, if you do not they have the driver available for other OS's as well.

[QUOTE=Xylem;27475843]Hmm.. I'm still undecided. I'm deciding between Qosimo and QX410. Also, is there a huge difference between Intel i5 and i7 core?[/QUOTE] Don't pull an Axiom by calling a CPU a core.
[QUOTE=Jaehead;27477393]aren't these Sandy Bridge processors? [img_thumb]http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/6236/capturekz.png[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] might be not.
Is this laptop suitable for gaming? [url]http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/computers-laptops/laptops/asus-n53jl-sx012v-15-notebook/585799[/url]
425M is kinda lacking but everything else looks fine

[QUOTE=MacTrekkie;27477723]Looking at the model number I would say yes. IIRC, all the Nehalem mobile CPU's had 3 digit model numbers and the Sandy Bridge have 4.[/QUOTE] Is it true that these Sandy Bridges CPU has integrated Gpu in it? That's what I heard.
The desktop versions do, don't know about laptops there were integrated GPUs in some of the previous Core i* processors as well
[QUOTE=Jaehead;27497844]425M is kinda lacking but everything else looks fine[/QUOTE] Should I be able to run games smoothly? (Games listed in OP).
[QUOTE=Xylem;27498134]Should I be able to run games smoothly? (Games listed in OP).[/QUOTE] Well it can run them pretty well, but the Qosimo will knock the shit out of it. And mobile i5 cpus are all dual-core. All mobile i7s are quad (in SB, with the exception of the i7-6xx series). And Mobile i7s are awesome.
Qosimo are terribly expensive in Australia. I've found a couple, but some are little or over $1000. Here's the one's I've found: [url=http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/computers-laptops/laptops/toshiba-x500-00x-qosmio-18-notebook/466544]Qosmio x500/00X[/url] [url=https://www.jbhifionline.com.au/computers-laptops/laptops/toshiba-f60-00y-qosmio-15-notebook/481431]Qosimo F60/00Y[/url] [url=http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/computers-laptops/laptops/toshiba-f60-033-qosmio-16-notebook/580591]Qosimo F60/033P[/url]
You can buy a used Asus G series, like someone else said, for just over $1000.
I can't find an Asus G series. [editline]19th January 2011[/editline] Maybe something like this is good? [url]http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/computers-laptops/laptops/dell-t561105au-inspiron-xps-15-notebook/632249[/url]

OP is in Australia
Yes. Im in Australia.
Would this be a good gaming laptop? [url]http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/computers-laptops/laptops/dell-t561105au-inspiron-xps-15-notebook/632249[/url]
