Thread Starter 

If you hear of any new releases of notebooks please post here.

I know most of you already bought one but...
If you were to hold out for an upcoming notebook what would it be and what features would it have?

I would order a Sager 5680. There's ALWAYS going to be something better that's just about to come out... You've just got to make the plunge and buy something. I know people who have been waiting to upgrade their desktop since the Tualatin P3's, first they waited for P4's, then they waited for hyperthreading, and now they're waiting for Prescott.

I'm waiting for Prescott too, his brother Ed, much nicer guy, will always buy you a drink or bail you out of jail.

Seriously, though, I am waiting for a laptop that is modular in architecture, meaning you can put whatever damn cpu in it you want that will fit (and there being a choice of fitting cpus) and you can put whatever damn gpu in it you want that will fit (ditto) and you can jam as much ram into as you can afford. Then it should have modular bays that can take Data Drives (both HDDs and SSDs or whatever kind of Ds you can afford) as well as CDs and DVDs AND Batteries or Card Readers or Port Replicators or GPNs or Microwave Ovens or Laser Blasters or whatever it is you want, sort of a mega/meta PCMCIA slot. After that, well, a touch screen that you can write on Tablet Style and perhaps a high-quality built in camera/stereo mic system. After that, we can talk about the bells and whistles.

I friend will bail you out of jail, a best friend will be beside you saying, "Lets do it again!"

Anyways, whens Prescotts slated release date? Upcoming? Will the prescott launch in notebooks or first in desktops and then a longer wait for notebooks?

Nope, a best friend would have talked you out of it in the first place. At least I'd hope so, I don't need to get in any more trouble or spend any more time in emergency rooms.

As for the Prescott release, at least its actual release, your guess is as good as anybody's. However, I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that its released for desktops first. Always have and, for at least the foreseeable future, always will. Judging from previous debuts, I'd guess at least 4 to 6 months from desktop to laptop, maybe quicker as laptops (or desknotes as they are becoming to be known) are getting closer and closer to becoming mainstream market. However, the 800 MHz FSB P4s ended up in laptops nearly simultaneously with desktops. Who knows?
