Ya but i hate how the envy doesn't have a numbpad lol. Well i guess its gonna come down to if the gt 650m will have enough power for college. My hope is that its about the same as the 7690 on the current models. I wish i had a way of testing how it would do in those programs with the 30day refund period.

Well, the gt 650m is about 30-40% faster than 7690m.Check the mobile gpu benchmark.As for me,I 'll wait for 7750m.Hope that it's powerful as the list show .

Nvidia's Kepler Architecture: 6 Things You Should Know | PCMag.com

The last thing posted in the website scares me a little going in college for engineering next year. I understand that they sacrificed some of its computing power, but does that mean engineering programs will just be awful with a Kepler or does it just mean that the performance increase didn't scale up like it dd in gaming?

I would not worry man. I am going into my 4th year of Computer Engineering at University, and the programs you will most likely use (Solidworks, CAD, NX modelling, Matlab, Pspice, Xilinx) do not require super powerful machines. I have friends with mid end Core 2 Duo / ATI 5470 running these programs fine.

My old system with a P7450 / 9800m gs destroyed 3d modelling programs. If you look at the Luxmark benchmark for 680 VS 580 , the gtx 680 was still 75% of the computing performance of the 580, which would be FAR beyond any of these older systems. (This applies to all keplar GPUs, i have no doubt even the 630 would be more than adequate)

You may find by the time you graduate and are working that you need a more powerful machine, but the way us Comp Enggies like to upgrade... you probably wont own the same laptop by then

Hope this helps. My $0.02

Wow thanks alot, that made me feel better, especially because computer engineering is what im going into

Edit: the more I've been reading and of the computers i saw suggested, the cpu were mostly i7 and i5 but the gpu was low to mid-range. I think these will do fine.

I've only read the last 5 or so pages diagonally and I couldn't find a release date...

Is there an official release date for the dv6 with ivy bridge in europe?

thanks in advance

Beginning of May (no specific date) according to Notebook Italia, that's via an HP Italian product manager. April 23rd now for the U.S., it was supposed to be the 9th but Intel danced around the allowed announce dates.

Lenovo Already have Ivy Bridge +Kepler for sale.
Lenovo IdeaPad Y480 2093-4FU Notebook PC - Intel Core i7-3610QM 2.3GHz, 8GB DDR3, 750GB HDD, DVDRW, 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M, 14 Display, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, Gray at TigerDirect.com

Hopefully HP will also have it soon, and with a fair price

the new dv6 is already on sale in sweden
HP Pavilion dv6-7010eo 15,6-tums laptop Intel Core i5-processor och klass 2-grafik!

but its the cheap version, when is the one with GT650m supposed to come??

It does seem to be the new mosaic design and with the new gpu but unfortunately it still sports the Sandy bridge i5...

I hope the i7 models come out with Ivy Bridge chips.

"6990 Swedish kronor = 1 023.46284 Canadian dollars"

Ugh, if that's the cheap one, I'm not sure I want to know what the GT 650M and FHD version is going to cost :\ ... I really need more money....

Personally, I'd be perfectly fine with with the 540/630, and any old Ivy Bridge, even the base one. I really like the look of these new laptops, I would absolutely love to customize one (if only I didn't live in Canada)

[rmacgowa]

Wow, if the new DV6s are going to cost THAT much... it would be much better value to buy a new Sager 6165. You get the i5-2450 and gt 650m for $921.48

I hope the trinity refreshes are launched at the same price llano was (500-700 bucks), otherwise it looks like HP most be taking a misstep.

@JTF2 I am also Canadian, and I feel your pain
