Asus A8Js MXM video card go7700?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Hi

This is my first post here.

I m dealing with laptops for the last 3 years now and i was looking to buy something that is at least upgradable or have that option in Video card.

I saw that S96j or Z96j with ATI X1600 (which enough powerfull for me) but i was dissapointed when i realize that Video Card is integrated on the motherboard

I know that may Dell XPS 2 etc (big and very expensive) or 9300 (previous generation 17') and E1705 E1505 will be good choises but i like good build quality (which is probably delivered by ASUS cause i never have one in my hands). Also i m leaning towards 15' screens (Not too bulky not small either)
E1505 will be a good choise but they delivery that with an X1400 Hyperemory which not a very good choise.

So If i want a good video card (similar or better to X1600 or nVidia equivelant) i had to go with a 17' laptop.
Now asus announces the A8Js with go7700 but its only a 14' screen.
Here are some links i found for this

It seems to a MXM card but not sure for that.
If this the case then is my next laptop but that 14' make me to think again.
I never had a wide screen in any size. Is that too much in difference between a W 14' and a W15'?

thanks
Any comments-suggestion appreciated.

No speculation about the card, but I really doubt it will be MXM, if anything, it will be proprietary modular card.

As for size difference, go to a store and look at 14" and 15.4" laptops and see for yourself.

i switched from a 15" to a 14" widescreen, and i don't feel like I really lost anything. it's alot more portable though.
