nvidia's 'GeForce Go Powered Notebooks' page is a lie!

[Hohlraum]

I've gone through several of the companies on this site:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/wtb_notebooks.html

I'd say 60-75% of the information on there is outdated or just an outright lie. I'm finding that many of these manufacturers have updated (old models are discontinued) many/all models to use ATI or Intel based chipsets. I even found some exact models where they are listed by nvidia as using their chipset and its actually ATI.

Does anyone have any recommendations on a light nvidia based laptop? I'd like to keep it under 6lbs. with atleast a Go 6600.

hands up people who care?

certainly most of the big players there like Dell and sony definately use NV's GPUs in their laptops

i mean if you wanna game, you should really have a desktop. gaming laptops are abit of a waste IMO


oh for reccommendations....

id say check out sony...they have some very nice laptops. but the more recent ones have the Go 7400

i dont know how that stacks up against the 6600 go though

some of the acer models are very nice too

glad to see you edited your post with some useful information

I checked out the sony and yeah they look pretty good. I've just known 2 or 3 people where their laptop spent more time at warranty service centers than I'd care to deal with. Looks like the 7400 uses system memory instead of dedicated? The only acer models with nvidia chipsets seem to be the convertible models and they are only 6200s. From what I can see every other reference to Acer on that page is outdated or straight-up false. I really don't have a problem with Dell but their nvidia based stuff is way over priced and/or pretty heavy.

The only game i intend to play on the laptop is EQ which should be handled by the 6600 swimmingly. The real reason why I only ever buy nvidia is because of the outstanding linux driver support they provide.

And for the search engines I found this with some more digging:
