My mistake. Well, it's probably the 761GX if the A6000K is going to be released by summer since the 770 is slated for Q4 of this year.
 
according to mobile meter my laptop draws around the 14W mark on battery with everything at low, with screen on high it goes to 17, i'm impressed
 
Intel has been developing laptop technology for bit longer than AMD so you would expect them to have better capabilities with all that experience. Makes it kind of hard for any competitor to break into their market.

That's not too shabby. What kind of screen do you have? And what was the original speed of your Banias?

I dont think Turion will take over the mobile market by any means. But it should be more affordable with equivalent or better performance. Turion has a feature set more like the Sonoma platform, but at prices of th Dothan platform. As long as battery life is competitive, this makes it a better buy in my opinion. Most Sonoma notebooks are still rather expensive, but Turion should debut at or lower than the standard Dothan notebooks. Only time will tell

Dothan is a processor, Sonoma is the platform. And Dell has Sonoma platform laptops for $699.
 
Thank you for the education. I know Dothan is the processor, but I just didn't happen to remember the name for the platform that originally used the Dothan CPU
And I said most Sonoma notebooks are still rather expensive. Would you care to point me to the Sonoma laptop for $699?
 
As for the chips, yes:
AMD Turion 64 mobile technology models ML-37, ML-34, ML-32, ML-30, MT-34, MT-32, and MT-30 are priced at $354, $263, $220, $184, $268, $225 and $189 respectively, in 1,000-unit quantities."

As for the notebooks, not just yet. As soon as it is announced it will be updated here
 
Damn, I wanted the ML-37 but it looks like that might be a bit expensive. How do the prices compare to the new 533MHz FSB Centrinos?
 
there is a very nice looking MSI Turion ultra-light notebook coming out with the ATI chipset and a 12.1" widescreen soon.

if it had a nVidia chipset i would be even happier.
 
hey. You know ATI have support for it though, acer is releasing some aspire models in writing moment with x600 & x700 boards.

Though I to also pray for some turion/gf6800go solution =)

heh I've been looking for a decent laptop since january now, and still I wait and wait because I really need that there.

Btw there are some cool feutures with the turion processor to though, besides beeing a fully 64bit cpu with all the 64bit registers and instructions, it also has the SSE3 instruction, wich you only got in the top amd athlon 64 cpu's =)
To me a dothan solution is just rediculous compared to a turion solution, though I will not buy a laptop until I get one with turion64 and a graphiccard wich has ps/vs 3.0.

My requirements come from that I'm a coder though..
