What would you like to see in the next 88XX model? - Page 3

I have 3 already. A real mouse beats down touch pad any day. I would like to have all the components inside the labtop for a true wireless rechargeable optical mouse with no usb going to the back of the labtop. After all I use a mouse way more then some limited storage mp3 player thats the same size.

My list isn't a very good fit for the next 88XX, but I'm shopping for a portable and here's what I'm hoping to find (in order):

1) ATI Mobility 9600 (pro if possible)
2) Less Ghosting LCD
4) Thinner/Lighter (no floppy, single optical drive, no MP3 player, single HD)
3) Widescreen (16:9) LCD
5) Pentium M for longer battery life. The benchmarks on these look pretty good and I'm more interested in 3D performance anyway.
6) tablet mode (gotta try RTS games with a pen)
7) integrated 802.11g

Watercooling for next 88XX... so it'll add a few more pounds, but think of the possibilities

How about Gigabit Ethernet? And a rotating LCD for Tablet PC. (That 802.11g removable LCD idea was pretty neat! I'll bet we'll see something like that in a few months/years.)

Re: What would you like to see in the next 88XX model?

Highest to Lowest:

-ATI M10
-800FSB, dual channel 400DDR RAM
-7200 rpm hard drive
-802.11g wireless MiniPCI
-80GB hard drive
-17" widescreen UXGA LCD
-longer battery life
-Finger print scanner finally added
-External battery option

Get a computer with all of it and tell me where to sign.

Yeah! Good idea!

And not just a cop-out internal USB crappy one, but an internally-connected via Firewire or IDE drive! I want TRANSFER SPEED, baby! TRANSFER SPEED!

I know most cards only have so-fast they can transfer their data, but I bet that rate is above USB1.1's slow-arse speed.

Im not sure why everybody is looking for gigabit ethernet on the laptop.. not many places that can take advantage of such, Home use comes way below gigabit even way below capacity of 10/100.. only use would be from 1 computer to the next directly and then both would need gigabit cards, still 100 megabit per second is mighty fast even in that regard and a lot cheaper and more wipespread

Ah something else I forgot to mention that I'm sure you'll go with too Direwolf...how about that six pounds infinity is talking about?

This is true.. I mean, how fast can your hard drive spit out data? I know the "theoretical maximums" are up to 1064 for ATA-133 (133MB/s = 1064Mbps?) and HD's don't hardly come close to those maximums, especially in slower laptop drives.

Not sure what Apple was thinking, but at least it's a braggin point for those who do not know any better.

Of course, if people were REALLY slick, they'd have video feeds and such that go through the ethernet port! Hey, give whole new meaning to NAS devices... instead of an IDE/SCSI bridge to TCP/IP, there could be a proprietary connection and the gigabit connection can become the standard to how we use external storage!

Naaaah!

I can see our network geniues at work here. The point in gigabit networking is to have high bandwidth, not a matter of how fast you receive packets. Everytime a computer logs on a network, every other computer on that network's bandwidth is cut nearly in half. Everyone has an equal data rate they can receive at one given time. Gigabit networking is ONLY concievable for large networks where several computers would be transfering large files over a network at the same time. You have to remember that a hard drive speed is mega BITS per second, not BYTES as well so ATA133 isn't 133 megabytes per second. I learned something from that stupid degree school...

Ya I'd say it's pretty safe to say it's overkill now...

How about the option of a Pentium M chip? I would love to have a 1.8 or 2Ghz Pentium M chip and six or seven hours of battery life (not unthinkable with such a large battery).

On another note I do believe that ATA speeds are specified in megabytes and not bits. ATA/133 actually has 133MB worth of bandwidth (sort of, it's not 100% efficient).

An onboard U160/320 SCSI controller.
Room for a standard 1" SCSI drive. Hey, would a pair of 1" drives fit under the palm rests where left-front drive bay, mp3 player and battery are? Who needs mp3 in a dual SCSI RAID-0/1 laptop?
An external SCSI connector in back maybe.
Hey while I'm wishing... room for an Adaptec ZCR card.
Screw battery life! If you use your lappy on battery a lot, don't go for the SCSI option.
You could cool them 10k drives using a fan/blower and sandwich the drives between aluminum extrusions resembling corrugated cardboard. A little Arctic Silver and awayyyy we go.

Pentium M? Why don't we go ahead and put some Celeron's in then...Sager is geared for high performance rather than battery life.
