Does this notebook exist?

[ecove]

Wondering if anyone knows if there's a notebook out there that combines an Athlon 64, 17" monitor (1920 x 1200 would be awesome), and a Geforce 6800 (U)? My quick research has only yielded A64 notebooks with Radeon cards.

I wasn't able to find one when I looked. I ended up getting the Dell 9300. The price is very cheap for a laptop with the 6800.

No...The Acer Ferrari (sp?) has an X700 Card with an AMD 64. I've been hearing by the end of the year we'll be seeing some A64's with an X800.

Looks like intel is inbed with nvidia and AMD is in with Radion. So i doubt you will find what you are looking for. But the new Ferrari is SWEET check out this.

Wow, great find! Previously there really hadn't been any PCI-E A64 notebooks because the PCI-E chipsets were taking a while to find their way into notebooks. This looks to be one of the first, and a beast indeed 😀

Killer. Thanks, roadkill! The voodoo is expensive, but gives me hope that other co's (eg Sager) will soon have their own counterparts.

hahahah almost 8 grand for a top of the line system. thats almost twice as much the cost of my 95 nissan maxima(4.5g)!!

I wonder if you can switch out the proc with something simpler, like a 3000+ venice

That voodoo must be the heaviest laptop on earth. I think at that point it makes more sense to get a SFF and an LCD 😛

Very nice specs though.

Strange because it's mainly been the exact opposite till recently.

However, with Intel making their own all in one chipsets, and nvidia not having done that since nforce2, it's left a big gap in the Athlon market for ATI to fill, as such their chipsets seem to be to Turion what an Intel chipset is to Centrino.

 

[ShellGuy]

I think that was their plan.

this is making me so sick: anandtech "reviewed" the x800 mobility in november 2004. Ive not seen any notebook with a X800 so far...fukcin paper launches.

Welcom to the TECH industry..
