So by ordering DDR2-533 it isn't a mistake?

You may want to start a new thread for a more in depth discussion of this, but no, it isn't a mistake necessarily. I welcome amd remaining with regular ddr (so I can pop in a low latency 1gb if I need to), but until I realized how close the turion was upon us, I was going to go for an acer travelmate 8104 (dual channel ddr2 533). just make sure you realize that ddr2 isn't twice as fast as ddr1 and you'll be ok

The aspire 5020 is nice, but definitely not for me. XP Pro and something more than WXGA are vital, and dvi and ddr400 are pluses as well.

Fujitsu was also said to be a first release partner for the Turion. Anyone have any info on the notebook they plan to release?

Fujitsu mainly buy from ODM like Uniwill, Mitac, etc. So unless we hear something from these fellas, Fujitsu ain't going to be the first release partner. Unlike Toshiba and Acer where their designs are more unique

I agree here, want wsxga and dvi mainly. Basically an 8104 with a turion would be what I'd like.

MSI Subnotebook with AMDs current savings processor Turion

So far mainly for its well-known manufacturers MSI one presented Main boards the first Notebooks with AMDs Turion processor. The Subnotebook Megabook S270 with 12-Zoll-Bildschirm (1280 x of 800 pixels) should weigh 1.8 kg and be available starting from April for approximately 1200 euro in the specialized trade. The diagram takes over the diagram core of the chip set of ATI Radeon XPress 200M on basis of the Mobility Radeon X300. it used up to 128 MByte 512 MByte of large main storage (DDR400). The Turion Megabook transmits with WLAN after IEEE 802.11g and contains a 60-GByte-Festplatte. The running time indicates MSI as 4,5 hours.

The Turion processor is according to AMD no Desktop version with low core tension, but processor series particularly developed for mobile applications. In contrast to the Pentium M the Turion supports also 64-Bit-Befehle, which is usable with Linux as well as for 18 April the expected Windows XP professional x64 edition. For approximately 1000 euro one receives the Megabook S270 also with AMDs mobile Sempron 2800+ (1.6 GHz), to 256 MByte RAM and 40-GByte-Festplatte. MSI presented also two Centrino versions with Pentium M 730,1.6 GHz (2 MByte L2-Cache) for approximately 1250 euro and Pentium M 715,1.5 GHz (1 MByte L2-Cache) for approximately 1000 euro ( jwe /c't)

This might've raise question before, so I'll ask again because i can't remember...

Turion is same pin configuration as the current AMD64? Those who have current AMD64 system could upgrade to Turion? AKA Acer Ferrari or Uniwill 258?

They make a widescreen version, check out the 4th post in this thread...and it says it can have either the x300, x600 or the x700...even comes with integrated ATI graphics as well, but I can't see any manufacturer using that option...

ahhh, I see now, there is a difference between the M622 and W622 Arima models, the M series uses the 27W Turion, and is a 4:3 screen, while the W series has the 35W Turion, and a widescreen...

oh, and to try and head off this question, both HP/Compaq and Gateway have used Arima models in the past, so that might be the U.S. brand that you see these lappys under...

Article about Acer Turion notebooks in the UK...

Acer lays UK cards on the table
Vendor to increase marketing efforts and expand corporate sales team
Tom Sanders at CeBIT in Hanover, vnunet.com 11 Mar 2005

Looking to further expand its market position in Europe, Acer has vowed to gain business in the UK.

"We are increasing our marketing efforts and expanding our corporate sales team in the UK," Walter Deppeler, senior corporate vice president for Acer and vice president for Acer EMEA, told vnunet.com at the CeBIT trade show.

Acer sells through retail stores and channel partners exclusively. The expansion of the corporate sales team is designed to benefit the sales through channel partners.

Acer is the third largest computer manufacturer of Europe. It is number one in the laptop segment and number five in desktop systems, according to data by IDC. The UK is one of Acer's weaker performing markets.

The company has a strong focus on the enterprise and home office markets, and launched new laptop computers at CeBIT that it hopes will specifically appeal to users in those markets.

The Aspire 5000 and 5020 series feature the newly released AMD Turion 64-bit mobile processor, extended battery life and enhanced security.

Acer's market is also served by Dell, but the latter has a direct sales model and Acer an indirect one. Acer has historically taken market share away from Toshiba and HP, according to Deppeler.

He added that the company has no plans to step up its sales efforts towards HP customers now that there is confusion about the future of HP's PC and laptop division.

That is probably the single most aggravating part of a laptop purchase.

ahh, no, no they don't, highest is a ati x700 128, which is pretty good, but if you want that you'll have to hit up the hernia inducing clevos (sager, hypersonic etc etc), a 9300/xps2, or perhaps the dell m70 (which isn't per se a gaming laptop, but is small and has the quadro 1400 which is based off of the 6800.
