Excuse me "moron", but only LGA 1366 socket boards (Core i7-900 series and high-end Nehalem-based Xeons) use triple channel DDR3 RAM.

The Core 2* notebook series processors (or rather, their respective chipsets) all support dual-channel configurations.]]>Jan 14th 2010 8:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ibuypower-battalion-touch-now-available-to-order-starting-at-9/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ibuypower-battalion-touch-now-available-to-order-starting-at-9/I bet you feel kind of like an idiot now...if not you, should.]]>Jan 14th 2010 8:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ibuypower-battalion-touch-now-available-to-order-starting-at-9/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ibuypower-battalion-touch-now-available-to-order-starting-at-9/haha grammatical errors aside.]]>Jan 14th 2010 8:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ibuypower-battalion-touch-now-available-to-order-starting-at-9/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ibuypower-battalion-touch-now-available-to-order-starting-at-9/Jan 14th 2010 7:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ibuypower-battalion-touch-now-available-to-order-starting-at-9/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ibuypower-battalion-touch-now-available-to-order-starting-at-9/http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220603

Your mac book has a multi-touch screen? how bout no.]]>Jan 14th 2010 8:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ibuypower-battalion-touch-now-available-to-order-starting-at-9/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ibuypower-battalion-touch-now-available-to-order-starting-at-9/I can't help but laugh at the fact that you paid $1200 for a laptop with slightly better specs and a 13.3 inch screen. But hey, there's a piece of fruit on the cover.]]>Jan 14th 2010 8:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ibuypower-battalion-touch-now-available-to-order-starting-at-9/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ibuypower-battalion-touch-now-available-to-order-starting-at-9/Your 13.3" MacBook has a better video card than the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 and a 2.53 GHz processor? Where can I buy your mythological MacBook from the future? Does it have a touchscreen too? Amazing! I can't wait to get one.]]>Jan 14th 2010 11:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ibuypower-battalion-touch-now-available-to-order-starting-at-9/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ibuypower-battalion-touch-now-available-to-order-starting-at-9/Umm yeah, I have the exact same laptop right here Apple MacBook, and I also own a minor variant of the laptop this article is about. (no multitouch, but otherwise identical) I own both, and what you're saying is so damn wrong it's just downright sad.

1. I keep touching this MacBook's screen, but all I'm getting is smudges.
2. Radeon HD 4650 =/= Intel GMA x3100/GeForce 9400m (depending on when you bought it)
3. 2.53 GHz Dual Core with 1066 MHz FSB =/= 2.12 GHz/2.2 GHz Dual Core with 677 MHz FSB
4. 15.6 inch 1366 x 768 Screen =/= 13.3 inch 1280 x 800 Screen
5. 4 GBs DDR2 DDR3 1066 MHz RAM =/= 1 GB DDR2 667 MHz RAM/ 2 GB DDR2 800 MHz
6. 500 GB HDD =/= 120 GB/320 GB HDD
7. 2x USB 2.0 ports and 2x USB 2.0/E-Sata ports =/= 2 underpowered USB 2.0 ports
8. VGA/HDMI =/= Apple Mini-DVI/Apple Micro DVI/DisplayPort
9.Fingerprint reader =/= no fingerprint reader (Which I am loving, btw, it only has a false negative every 20 reads or so
10. Blu-Ray =/= DVD r/w
11. Expresscard =/= no expresscard
12. sd/ms/mmc =/= no card reader
And most importantly
13. 930 dollars shipped =/= 1,200 dollars base price

Get your facts straight please.]]>Jan 15th 2010 4:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ibuypower-battalion-touch-now-available-to-order-starting-at-9/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/ibuypower-battalion-touch-now-available-to-order-starting-at-9/http://www.compal.com/index_En.htm

And I like that they label the webcam.

I am sure of it. I wonder if I can just buy one of their screens and pop it in. I doubt it would be that simple and cheap, but wow.]]>Jan 15th 2010 4:20PM
