what do u guys think the upgraded gpu would be? I am torn b/w the envy refresh and dv6/dv4 refresh

[neon10th]

I could be wrong, but I think the 8th is when retailers will start to have them in stock or they'll be in transit on the way to retailers, but they will not be available to purchase until the 29th, (or so the rumors say).

I don't know about pre-orders.


Here's a decent article about the Ivy Bridge launch schedule, but I doubt the mobile chipsets will have to wait until June like the author says, especially since a couple Ivy Bridge notebooks are already available to pre-order.
Revised Ivy Bridge launch schedule

Oh, gotcha. What is the likelihood of HP offering a 30% coupon or similar on the release date? Have they been known to do this?

GT 650M or GTX 660M

[HTWingNut]

650m would make most sense, as it should be similar TDP to 555m which the DV6/7 can handle. 660m will most likely be more like the 570m and that may be too much heat to handle.

Now... DDR3 or GDDR5?

[HTWingNut]

Sure as hell hope it's GDDR5...

Yeah, Drac had a good eye to notice it, and screen grab and crop I posted here: *HP dv6z AMD Llano (6XXX series) Owners Lounge*

Hehe.

I took a screenshot; I was just feeling too lazy to upload it at the time.

Now we know the 650m with GDDR5 will be available. (See dv7 link above.)

Nice! I see that the dv7 is going to have an NVidia GT 650m (GDDR5). Do you guys think that's going to be the highest GPU upgrade?

My guess is yes. Its TDP should be similar to that of the 7690m xt, with higher performance. I would expect the same, or even slightly higher performance than the 7750m that's reported to be in the upcoming ENVY 15/17.

[HTWingNut]

Certainly the release of these machines are imminent. Just hope we can get some good feedback asap if it's a worthy update from Llano.
