New ECS G552 Centrino / ATi 9600 laptop

According to Tom's Hardware Guide, ECS is showing a new Centrino / ATi 9600 laptop at Comdex (look at the bottom of the page). The new model is called the ECS G552. You can download the user manual complete with pictures and specifications at the bottom of this ECS G552 support page.

There is some confusion as to what CPU is available in the ECS G552. The current specifications of the ECS G552 show that it has the Pentium 4-M CPU. But the BIOS Setup section of the G552 English user manual (page 63 of 108 in the pdf file) shows that it has a Pentium M CPU. Also, the article in Tom's Hardware Guide states that they are showing a Centrino (i.e., Pentium M) laptop at Comdex with ATI's Mobility Radeon 9600.

I can only speculate about the discrepancy. Perhaps the G552 will be available with either CPU or perhaps ECS has had a change of plan and now intends to offer the G552 with the Pentium M instead of the Pentium 4-M.

According to this DigiTimes article, the new Centrino / ATi 9600 laptop from ECS will be called the G556 and NOT the G552. Here is a description of the laptop from the article:

"The G556 Centrino notebook features a 15-inch TFT LCD display, a 1.7GHz Intel Pentium M processor, a 855PM chipset, a Radeon 9600 graphics chip from ATI Technologies, a 60GB hard disk and a DVD-RW drive. Positioned as a flagship notebook product, the G556 is priced at around NT$73,999 (about US$2,176)."

The article also shows a picture of it. Neither the ECS global website nor the ECS U.S. website has product specifications for the G556 available yet.
