Any News on Ferrari 500X series: - Page 4

Sorry to keep prodding for specs, but do you think it will use the same docking station connector as the 4005? It looks similar from the pic, but I wasn't sure.

Wow. Thanks. Wouldn't be the first time he was disqualified for something like that. Remeber when he was disqualified from the whole 1997 season for turning into Villeneuve? Thanks again.

Seams like a nice notebook and all, but what GPU does the Ferrari 5000 have??

ramificatio, according to earlier posts it will have the ati x1600. So it looks like it will have one less pixel pipeline, 4 more texel/pixel pipelines, and about 100MHz on the x700 used in the 4005.

Yep, and after that he admitted to it and "apologized". This time he's continuing to lie through his teeth.

Hopefully he'll retire at the end of this year.

Schumacher did not cheat, he just made a very good point that qualification format has to be changed. Can you imagine 10 2.4L engines burnig fuel for 20 minutes at average 13000RPMs, and all that just for fun. I dont understand why everybody blames him, he did not make the decision, the team did. Now I am sure they will change the qualification.

But the new Ferrari looks amazing, most likely it will be my next laptop.

What *are* you talking about?

Please do feel free to explain - in detail - how deliberately stopping your car on track less than 10 seconds from the end of the session so as to block your rival from completing the lap he's currently on (with a better time in the first two sectors than you), then lying and saying it was an accident, makes *any* point about the qualifying format needing to be changed?

Are you aware that in the entire F1 season, every single F1 car *combined*, in *every* practice, qualifying and race session, will use less fuel than just one of the chartered 747s used to fly the teams' equipment from England to Australia for the Australian Grand Prix will use, for that one flight?

Also, regarding cheating, can you please explain exactly how you know that the team made the decision for him to cheat, considering that the *only* public comment from the team has been both Schumacher and Todt claiming that no cheating took place? And can you explain how you believe that, even if it did come as an order from the team, how that would excuse Schumacher for following an order to cheat - something that the team would be in no position to punish him for ignoring?

Can you also explain how the team could have ordered him to stop the car on track (which you say happened), and yet stopping the car on track in direct violation of the rules (which he did) would not be considered cheating (since you say he didn't cheat)?

Sorry, but Schumacher cheated in the most reprehensible, unsportsmanlike manner.

Monaco has always been a place for statements. If you have to say something you better say it in Monaco, several times drastic changes were taken immidiately after incidents in Monaco.

747 has fuel consumtion of 100 miles per gallon per person, F1 has 4 miles per gallon per person. 747 uses fuel for transportation, but i see no real use for burning fuel in the last part of qualification, I could understand it 15 years ago, but how the hell should we call a person who came up with the idea of burning fuel in 21 century (the quicker you burn it the better man you are).

The strategy was made long before the qalification, and probably even before comming to Monaco.

OK, you can call Schumacher a lier but not a cheater, not a single team called him a cheater, they all had own different expressions and mostly all of them ment stopping on purpose, but all of them could guess what was the purpose. OK he got punished, because the team violeted the rules. But most likely many teams will profit from Monaco, and as usually Ferrari will profit from this incident when the big decisions will have to be taken, and there are a lot of them this year like tyres for next season, qualification, engines and so on as they did in 2002.

There are a lot of opinions and most likely nobody will change them, so lets stay with own opinion and keep them away from laptops.

So what are the chances of the New Ferrari using the same battery & charger as the 4000?

What are the chances they will offer windows x64 pre-installed?

gonzo, please don't wish that on anybody. As far as I'm concerned xp64 is the new windows ME. I finally got rid of it and put regular xp back on b/c their compatibility layer is not so very compatible with many programs.

When you need it you need it. The only programs I have found that will not run are VPN clients.

Here here. It probably won't happen, but I hope they make some room for raikkonen to take his spot. He needs a team that doesn't have as many engine problems as McLaren.

why the f u ck are we arguing about cars in a labtop forum


yes i said laBtop on purpose!

no prob looks like 8204 design.


why the hell would the offer the worst OS ever to mankind (well next to winME) again ? NO!

they are offering win xp pro sp2 on the ferrari

i think they need to go w/ media center now and offer media center functions as welll. guess you cant have everything in a $2500-3000 laptop

Let's see:

* No explanation of how deliberately stopping your car on track less than 10 seconds from the end of the session so as to block your rival from completing the lap he's currently on (with a better time in the first two sectors than you), then lying and saying it was an accident, makes *any* point about the qualifying format needing to be changed

* You are being completely disingenuous by comparing the 747 and F1's fuel consumption based on miles per gallon per person figures, because it ignores the fact that the total mileage in F1 qualifying sessions over the entire year is relatively low

* Plenty of F1 personalities, past *and* present, have not minced their words in the slightest by calling Schumacher a cheat - and there are even world champions among them. 1982 Drivers' Champion Keke Rosberg called Schumacher a "cheap cheat", and said his performance on Saturday was "the cheapest, dirtiest thing I have ever seen", for example.

But yes, I agree. Let's keep this out of the forum. Schumacher's a cheat, the point has been made - let's move on now.

Agreed, and hopefully Todt and Willi Weber will leave along with Schumacher.

Chances are it will use the same battery and charger as the TravelMate 8204WLMI on which it seems to be based. I've not compared to see whether that is the same as the one in the '4000, but if you check yourself, you'll probably answer your question.


Slim to none. I would guess you'll be able to get drivers, but that's all.

Willi Webber should read Would Webber if Williams could give him a car that can finish the race.

And yes I am biased as he's Australian, it's not often we get to support an Australian in a world motoring event.

Umm - you're confusing "Mark Webber" with "Willi Weber". Mark Webber - Australian driver for Williams Willi Weber - Driver manager for Michael Schumacher, and until recently Ralf Schumacher as well
