when my friend ordered his new Apple laptop a few months back, it was shipped out from Taiwan by UPS international 2 day express.
 
laptops aways gonna be roughly 2 generations behind desktops, just the way it is.


as far as doom3 goes, I think you're kidding yourself if you want a laptop for that anytime soon. Its gonna be the last game you want to turn down the eyecandy on, and there have been hints that you won't be able to disable some of it, as it would ruin the atmosphere id is trying to present.
 
From the benchmark, it look like the M10 is the way to go. The GF FX 5200 Go even run slower than the M9 (128bit). The M10 look impressive though but it iwll be a while before it start to show up in a nice thin-and-light laptop (hint: T40 🙂)

preview over at toms. the notebook they're testing has got to be a dell 8500 that ATi has made a 9600 engineering sample for. as stated ATi doesn't have a positive design win for it yet, which means its not likely to show up at dell for quite a while. also, it doesn't seem like the engineering sample was made from a final spec M10. i was hoping to be able to get an M10 powered inspiron 600 in august but its looking doubtful now. and dell's current notebook deals in SB are pretty killer... sooo tempting...
 
Sony's got thier new laptops on their page! I guess the line is just called "GRT". The processors include mobile Pentium 4s and desktop P4s with a 533mhz bus. Screens range from 14.1 to 16". GPUs range from a Geforce 4 420 Go to a Geforce FX 5600 64MB.

Unfortunatly they don't list what chipset they use. Anyone know what Sony usually uses? I've very hesitant to buy anything but Intel chipsets (or probably Nvidia for Athlon) after a bad experience with a VIA Athlon chipset a few years back.

Looks like the line starts at $999, for probably a pretty solid notebook. 14" screen, Celeron, and Geforce 4MX. Better than MOST store bought stuff. A 16" one with Geforce 5600 is $2199 On the configure to order model, they've got some REALLY weird screen resolutions listed. 16" 1240x1024? What the heck is that? A type, hopefully. At least they've got an OPTION for a screen lower than 1400 or 1600. Personally, I'd love mayve 1152x864 on a 16" screen (it's what I run my 19" CRT at). Maybe even lower.

Weird that Dell hasn't released anything new yet. I'm going to wait for Apple too. If the Powerbook line really goes to PowerPC 970s, I'm sure I'll have to get one of those over a Windows book.

Yikes! I just congigured one with a 16" screen for $1340! It dosen't say what GPU that is, and it's only a 1.8Ghz Celeron M.
