I'm impressed. Now, uh anyone got about $1500 just laying around that they might want to pass my way?]]>Oct 10th 2008 5:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/10/zepto-debuts-14-inch-nox-a14-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/10/zepto-debuts-14-inch-nox-a14-gaming-laptop/

Gaming laptop? If this was to be a gaming laptop it would need a recent and powerfull graphics card, not a mid-end GPU that's been on Asus' 14" notebooks for more than a year.


I will be waiting for the mobile version of RV730, Mobility HD4600. That should fit nicely on 14/15" laptops and the performance should be way higher than anything there is right now.]]>Oct 10th 2008 5:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/10/zepto-debuts-14-inch-nox-a14-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/10/zepto-debuts-14-inch-nox-a14-gaming-laptop/Oct 10th 2008 7:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/10/zepto-debuts-14-inch-nox-a14-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/10/zepto-debuts-14-inch-nox-a14-gaming-laptop/
The 9600M GT is a whole new model; it has performance closer to the 8700M GT; the 9700M GT will have performance greater than that of the 8700M GT.

And yes, they all do have the same bus (128-bit) and same amount of shaders etc. (32).

The 9700M GTS however get a 256-bit bus but that's a graphics card you probably won't see in a 15.4" notebook simply because of the card's size and heat.

9600M GT is about as big as you can get in a standard-sized 15.4" notebook without making the size ridiculous. That and the cooling system would have to be really really good to cool down those high performance GPUs.

So basically:
9500M GS < 8600M GT (DDR2) < 8600M GT (GDDR3) < 9600M GT (DDR2) < 8700M GT ~ 9600M GT (GDDR3) [depends on CPU, RAM etc. but generally 9600M GT is slightly better than 8700M GT) < 9700M GT < 9700M GTS < 9800M GTS < 9800M GT < 9800M GTX.

For reference, the 9700M GT is roughly equal in performance to the desktop version of the 9500 GT (the 9600 GT on the desktop has a 256-bit bus and is much faster).]]>Oct 10th 2008 8:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/10/zepto-debuts-14-inch-nox-a14-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/10/zepto-debuts-14-inch-nox-a14-gaming-laptop/But why are manufacturers always gearing towards gamers?

What about high-performance laptops for the needs of musicians and/or video editors?
Something with more inputs, like all-too-few desktop motherboards have,
such as S/PDIF in, as well as out, both coaxial & optical,
maybe even a MIDI in & out (& through, if needed),
on a portable laptop, without the need to buy extra
expensive, & cumbersome external input devices.

And something with enough power that rendering on say,
Sony Vegas 8 Pro, won't take 9 hours to process.

Just a thought (hope, Wish, DREAM!;)]]>Oct 12th 2008 3:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/10/zepto-debuts-14-inch-nox-a14-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/10/zepto-debuts-14-inch-nox-a14-gaming-laptop/Oct 11th 2008 6:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/10/zepto-debuts-14-inch-nox-a14-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/10/zepto-debuts-14-inch-nox-a14-gaming-laptop/http://community.electricsheep.org/]]>Nov 19th 2009 12:41PM
