| 506897 | 2007-01-08 03:55:00 | I will consider the advice, winmacguy. What are CES and MWSF? Meanwhile, I spotted a similar laptop deal at Dell. -> www1.ap.dell.com After configuring the system specifications to 80GB HDD and 1GB of RAM, the grand total is NZD 1,584.00, which is significantly lesser than the ASUS one from Bond & Bond ($1799.99). The only major difference between those two is that the Dell comes with ATI Radeon® Xpress 1150 256MB HyperMemory™, while the ASUS comes with nVidia GeForce Go 6100 128MB (both are integrated graphics). Meh... more choices... :annoyed: Cheers :) |

| 506898 | 2007-01-08 04:04:00 | I will consider the advice, winmacguy. What are CES and MWSF? Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas starting tomorrow for all things computing and otherwise www.cesweb.org and possibly not quite so important to PC users but exciting for us creative types, Mac World San Francisco www.macworldexpo.com also starting tomorrow with Steve Jobs Keynote speech annoucing all the new toys which will be on Wednesday morning NZ time. Go and check if there have been any further price changes after these 2 shows have started or just go with what you have previously decided on for your choice of new laptop. Cheers |

At least Steve has charisma :rolleyes: I take it you have never seen a Steve Jobs Keynote speech. For the uninitiated, Keynote is the Mac equivalent of Powerpoint. A Bill Gates Power Point presentation usually ends up being a yawn fest since everything that Steve announces is immediately available in stores where as Bill Gates tends to talk about wonderous yet to be created devices and applications (vapourware) Normally after the new stuff gets announced quite a bit of the "old" stuff gets a few hundred dollars knocked off the price. |

| 506906 | 2007-01-09 22:11:00 | Hi again. Would the difference between Intel Core Duo Processor T2050 (1.60GHz, 2MB L2 cache, 533MHz FSB) and AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-50 processor (1.6GHz, 512KB L2 cache, 1600MHz FSB be great? I know that the former is 32-bit based, while the latter is 64-bit based, and therefore technically the performance of AMD is better than Intel's. However, the question is would the difference be significant? I quite like this laptop, to be honest: www.dse.co.nz especially the graphics (NVIDIA® GeForce® Go 7400 with up to 256MB memory (128MB dedicated + 128MB shared memory)). Cheers :) |
