LG P330 (i7 + Nvidia 555m!)

The funny thing is this machine is is comparable to the Razer Blade 17" which costs $2800, lol.

Aren't they offering a 1600x900 screen though? I'd be ok with 1366x768 if it was a high quality screen (IPS please?)

Yeah neither machine is really amazingly powerful though, both having dual core processors etc.

I think the GT 555M in the Razor is a full fledged one vs. a most likely crippled 555M in this one (basically the same as a GT 550M if you overclocked it)

But the Razor won't do well with the full HD res and a GT 555M... If you actually used that resolution, most games would only run on medium I think, but this laptop at 1366*768 will run most things on high

The 3830TG is a train wreck. As much as I love my 3820TG, at some point I will have to replace it. The LG is in contention. (I'm also keeping an eye on the Lenovo X2 Ivybridge refresh but will need an external GPU solution.) The cooling on the P310 was acceptable and, if the P330 has a dual fan cooling system, it should be more than adequate. I have yet to encounter anything that my Acer's cooling can't handle.

How "train wreck" is your 3830TG?

I have been thinking of buying one.
Coudl you tell us more on how bad it is?
how about 4830tg?

I don't own a 3830tg. With the throttling and battery issues, I don't recommend them. I have a 3820tg and love it.

PLEASE LG, offer this with higher resolution than the crippled 1366x768 norm with IPS option!

[coldmack]

I just saw a Korean review of the the smaller P220 with an IPS display and it looks pretty amazing. If the P330 is more the same I'll be getting which ever one I can get cheaper here in the states(pending neither have any weird color accuracy issues).

[ablahblah]

Dunno why everyone's requesting 1920x1080, I actually like the 1366x768 size. It's kind of impractical to have THAT high of resolution on this small of a laptop, for both reading and gaming purposes.

Btw, has anyone found any notion of it coming stateside...this is THE perfect dang laptop...

1080p might be a bit high but 900p would be nice. It should be around 1080p in a 15" in terms of DPI and that look pretty good imo.

[kevmanw4301]

I heard it was supposed to be 900p, and, the 555M in the Razer Blade is the one with 96 shaders and GDDR5/128-bit bus, not the 144 shader GDDR3/192bit one in the M14x.

[HTWingNut]

So 96 shader GDDR5 128-bit bus is nearly equivalent to 144 shader GDDR3 192-bit bus right? Too bad there's no 144 shader GDDR5 192-bit bus variation.
