~Bitter ATI/Ubuntu user]]>Dec 28th 2009 11:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/hp-envy-14-envy-17-and-new-elitebooks-leak-onto-the-scene/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/hp-envy-14-envy-17-and-new-elitebooks-leak-onto-the-scene/But But But, ATI has open source drivers, why would you wanna go close source and proprietary with nVidia?]]>Dec 28th 2009 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/hp-envy-14-envy-17-and-new-elitebooks-leak-onto-the-scene/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/hp-envy-14-envy-17-and-new-elitebooks-leak-onto-the-scene/
Those drivers have poor performance, and the catalyst drivers break the compiz effects on my 3650 mobile unless i resort to patching manually (and remember to never update xserver), and i still haven't seen video decode acceleration (incl flash video) that works like it does on my Atom/ION setup (flawlessly).

Just a bunch of headaches that I simply don't have with my nvidia machine.]]>Dec 28th 2009 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/hp-envy-14-envy-17-and-new-elitebooks-leak-onto-the-scene/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/hp-envy-14-envy-17-and-new-elitebooks-leak-onto-the-scene/Dec 28th 2009 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/hp-envy-14-envy-17-and-new-elitebooks-leak-onto-the-scene/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/hp-envy-14-envy-17-and-new-elitebooks-leak-onto-the-scene/But they're open source! Surely someone could have looked at the code and made it better. Isn't that what open source is all about? Are you telling me that closed sourced is better than open source all of a sudden!]]>Dec 28th 2009 1:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/hp-envy-14-envy-17-and-new-elitebooks-leak-onto-the-scene/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/hp-envy-14-envy-17-and-new-elitebooks-leak-onto-the-scene/Dec 28th 2009 3:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/hp-envy-14-envy-17-and-new-elitebooks-leak-onto-the-scene/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/hp-envy-14-envy-17-and-new-elitebooks-leak-onto-the-scene/
The open sourced drivers are of course a huge step in the right direction and i commend them for the gesture, but currently no match for the catalyst drivers that are giving me the grief.

So there is no way for me to get good 3d performance on both my compiz and apps at the same time without some sort of voodoo that life is too short for on my Radeon mobile 3650.

It wouldn't be such a big deal if it wasn't a laptop, because I'm stuck with it.]]>Dec 28th 2009 3:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/hp-envy-14-envy-17-and-new-elitebooks-leak-onto-the-scene/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/hp-envy-14-envy-17-and-new-elitebooks-leak-onto-the-scene/Dec 28th 2009 3:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/hp-envy-14-envy-17-and-new-elitebooks-leak-onto-the-scene/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/hp-envy-14-envy-17-and-new-elitebooks-leak-onto-the-scene/Dec 28th 2009 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/hp-envy-14-envy-17-and-new-elitebooks-leak-onto-the-scene/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/hp-envy-14-envy-17-and-new-elitebooks-leak-onto-the-scene/
With a Core i7 chip and that powerful graphics card, I think the envy 15 has the best power to weight ratio of any laptop on the market, though not power to price ratio. It really is a 15 inch laptop, with the weight of a 13 inch, and the power of a 17 inch. It doesn't get much better than that.]]>Feb 23rd 2010 6:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/hp-envy-14-envy-17-and-new-elitebooks-leak-onto-the-scene/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/hp-envy-14-envy-17-and-new-elitebooks-leak-onto-the-scene/http://www.tradekey.com/selloffer_view/id/3776679.htm]]>Mar 3rd 2010 9:58PM
