notebooks with gf 2 go and athlon4?

[strikermlc]

Does anybody know if there are any notebooks currently available or planned that will use geforce 2 go graphics and athlon4 processors? I've been looking all over and have yet to find a notebook with that setup.

i think compaq has those if i remember right, the 1200 series or something

Compaq's athlon4 notebook has "VIA Trident Cyberblade Graphic 3D Graphics acceleration." I'm lookin for a notebook with gf2go.

Watch for an announcement on Monday from Toshiba. Maybe then. July is stated to be a big month for new laptops from many mfr's. I hope the rumor is correct.

hp does

hp doesn't have geforce2go unfortunately. here are the laptops Toshiba will announce Monday:

"Among the four new notebooks, Toshiba will add the Satellite 3005, which will be its first entry into the thin-and-light category for consumers. Competitors such as Compaq Computer and Sony have been offering similar notebooks since early in the year.

The 5.5-pound Satellite 3005 notebooks will start at $1,799 and will come with a Pentium III processor with clock speeds of up to 1GHz, Pinto said.

The Satellite 2805 and 1800 models will also come with Pentium III processors and will start at $1,999 and $1,299, respectively. The Satellite Pro 4600 series will start at $2,099 and target the small-business market
"

2805 is the gaming series (i.e. geforce2go), unfortunately it will come with p3 not athalon4

yeah, the only athlon4 hp laptop that I've seen is the n5470 and it has "Trident CBXP 128-bit AGP2X 3D graphics card."

man, only if dell would come out with this combo..
that would be schweeeet

Hmmm... a P3 at 1 GHz isn't THAT bad, in a laptop at least. But then again it would depend on the "bang4buck" quota and more importantly battery time. Would be interesting to know wether AMD and GF2 or INTEL and GF2 eats more power. Personally I would rather play 15-20 Mins longer than have 10 FPS more with a shorter battery life... regardless of who makes the processor.
