Finally! Pentium-M + M10 in a thin and light notebook!

[GnomeCop]

Check out the new Voodoo Envy M:460 it has been updated to include a 128mb Radeon Mobility 9600 Pro and a Pentium M cpu.
This model used to sport a P4M cpu and a 64mb Radeon 9600 video.
All this in a 1.1" thick notebook.
I'm sure we will hear more about this in the coming weeks.

check it out here


warning: the price is scary. 😛

Such a hard choice, M460 or M855 . . .? Hmmmm . . . . it may come down to which can ship faster. . .

 

[LoudTIGER]

$3k...

Nice.

Is this one based on the ECS G552 or which model and where do they sell them for under 2k?

The new version of the Envy m:460 incorporates the brilliant technology of the Intel Pentium ?M? Processor, with future Dothan Support...

Does this mean users can swap in a Dothan?

New deliveries will start in late December. We have already received a number of ?pre-orders? and those will be honored first.

Your system price: $4,055.75 (shipped)

*If you take the processor speed and multiply it by 1.9 you'll get a similar speed equivelant to the desktop Pentium 4 Processors in similar laptop configurations - according to our benchmark tests.

That seems a bit optimistic. 😉

The IBM ThinkPad T41p and R50p have the 128 MB FireGL T2 (based on the 9600 core), and the HP nc6000 and 8000 series also ues Radeon 9600 (though I think it's the 64 MB, not the 128 MB version).

I thought it was more around 1.6.

Depends on the application.

I just came across this review of a Russian model of what looks like the previous generation of this Voodoo/ECS with an M9. There are a few benchmarks comparing it with the Samsung X10.

yeah that bliss laptop looks like the same chassis as the M;460 from voodoo
