Averatec's 15.4-inch 8300 gets Santa Rosa'd

by Thomas Ricker, posted May 22nd 2007 at 8:26AM

Korea's TriGem just made their first trip to Santa Rosa this morning with the launch of their Averatec 8300 laptop. We're talkin' a 15.4-inch widescreen display, 160GB disk, DVD super multi-drive, a 1.3 megapixel webcam integrated into the bezel, and "the latest graphics card." Unfortunately, there's still no official word on the TG website, so let's just assume an HD 2900 XT and be done with it. What?

Yay... another Santa Rosa laptop. Who cares. This is the fifty-billionth one. Not news anymore.

I can hardly wait until the next platform comes out... so then every tech blogging site in the world can report on each and every laptop model from each and every manufacturer to get the new chip.

Aww cmon engadget, don't give of lost hopes of a 15" laptop with an HD 2900! Are you trying to make people have a heart attack because there's an awsome GPU in a 15.4"!?

I think it'll have a 8600m in it or something like the MR HD 2400.

esp as not only is it a crap graphics option, but there is the x1300 which is the latest intel option!!
