hey MichaelX30

i would be gald to write you a review for the Fujitsu N6010 ... you can edit it and make any nessecary changes

I try not to "review" them per se, I just try to inform people what is available on each one, go ahead and write about the Fujisu N6010 I'll gladly post it!

while the 9700 with 128 megs is now bottom of the barrel since the new cards came out, it can still play all the major games without switching to low settings. When HL-2, Farcry, etc, all came out, it was the king, and played them all fine.

We haven't exactly seen any new GPU killing games come out to relegate it to trash heap status.

Granted, I wouldn't buy a lappy with one if I were looking today, but it's still an awesome card in my current laptop

what are the odds of adding in a Toshiba? Qosmio G20 or the New Satellite M60

Asus W2VB-U003M - W2VB with the following spec.

Dothan PM 760 (2.0G) - ATI X700 128MB - 1024 MB DDRII (512x2) - 100GB HDD - 8x DVD Dual - WLAN 802.11g - MCE (UK) 200517" TFT ì WSXGA+(1680x1050) Color Shine + Anti-reflection, Hybrid TV-Tuner (Analog + DVB-T)

only cost $2300

hey guys think you can tell me which upgrade I should go for in a inspiron 9300, I will use it for gaming and school. I can either add the 1.73ghz processor or the 60gig 7200rpm drive, but I can't do both... which is better for gaming? Btw I already added the geforce6800

btw got another question, is it better to have 2 512mb sticks or 1gb, im guessing the best thing is to run them in dual ch, can i do that with the 1gb stick?

Dual Channel has almost not performance impact

Hey, if you all have a 17" notebook that is not listed feel free to write up about it and post it here. I still :heart: 17" notebooks but I really dont feel like going to each site to write everything about it.

what's the best

toshiba 17 " truebrite WXGA

or

dell 17 " UltraSharp WXGA

Haven't seen either, but I'm sure you're going to get a few subjective responses on this one.

In your opinion, is WUXGA worth it or would WXGA+ suffice? I'm interested in buying Fujitsu's new Amilo M3438G/M4438G models (17" display, PM-760, nVIDIA 6800GO 256MB, 1 GB of RAM). M3438G has got WXGA+ screen with a 16ms response time, M4438G has got WUXGA screen with 25ms response time.

Now I've heard many types of opinions on this matter. First, the alledged negatives of WUXGA. The 25ms response time is really high and might not suit FPS-games and dvd action. WUXGA makes everything way too tiny; you barely can read texts. Mobile GPUs don't have to power to run newest games in WUXGA and so you must scale down which makes the image worse.

Then the positives. WUXGA offers superior picture over WXGA+ because of its sharpness. Games look great in WUXGA. WUXGA is ready for HDTV, Blue-ray and HD-DVD. Dell XPS Gen2 has also WUXGA and it too has a 25ms response time: XPS Gen2 should be the top gaming notebook around so how could its screen be too slow for games and dvds due to high response time. WUXGA offers more screen estate.

My two main worries are:
1) When time goes by (I plan to keep this notebook at least 5 years) and the GPU gets old, do I still have use for WUXGA?
2) Will WUXGA be too sharp for me to do my papers (with MS Word) for unversity and surf the net?

So if I want DTR-notebook with longevity and use it for typing, surfing, gaming (Half-Life 2), dvds (and future formats) and light editing of pictures, should I take M4438G with WUXGA or settle for M3438G wtih WXGA+? Opinions? I mostly type and surf the net. I game under 5 hours per week. I want to be ready for HD-DVD and Blue-Ray (maybe buy an external drive later when they come out).

(BTW, if I choose M4438G with WUXGA I have to order it from abroad and buy a new OS to it.)

I have an inspiron 9300 and I play every game @ 1920x1200 with everything high except for Anti aliasing. But at that high of a resolution, it doesn't look any different with it on. I play BF2 @ 1920x1200 and it's silky smooth. I use WUXGA and it's not too sharp. In the dell quickset settings I just make everything a tiny bit bigger and everything is still crystal clear. I don't notice any lag even though you say the response time is slower.

What could be added is that on most systems, the brightness may be less on the WUXGA screens than on their lower-res equivalents (I'm talking about the detailed specs, not any general impression). It's that way on the Fujitsu screens, for one.

Secondly, when you're cramming more pixels into the same physical space on a 17'', it seems logical that the percentage and likelihood of dead pixels goes up, although I don't have any stats as yet to back that up.
