I am seriously thinking of going mobile, and I am an AMD fan for life, but there are a lot of new things happening in the mobile field, how long should I wait. I am not in a hurry, just trying to decide when would be a good time. Also what do you think would be a good laptop to get. It would be replacing my Desktop so it has to have a little power, but nothing major, I do play some games, but mainly browse the web and stuff like that.

AMD laptops powered by Palominos are available today for premium price.
How long should you wait? Well, depends on when u need it.

Well that is what i am trying to decide. All i need is something to play some games, surf the web, watch DVd's, do the normal computer stuff, just be mobile.

Why I am asking is because of all the advancements. I just found out the Nforce will start being put in laptops, that could be a good thing, I am just wondering what else will come of AMD really entering the laptop buisness.

just wait until you really really need it. Prices are always going down so just wait to the last minute. But you can't wait forever.

well for laptops--just buy it when you really need it - sure price is going down but only for old model but sure you will want the new model right? :) and also laptop product cycle is very long compared to desktop--so something you just saw on the computer expo wont go into mass market for quite awhile. So that's why i said buy a laptop when you really need it --- otherwise stick with a desktop.

Raspewtin - I know that you can order the Dell Inspirion 8000 with the GeFroce Go DDR shipset.

I have until Fall (when I start college) for a Athlon4 + GeForce. I hope it comes out by then. The nForce chipset would be perfect.
