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.

*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.
