LG P330 (i7 + Nvidia 555m!)

[ruhtraeel]

Is there anything on the horizon that encompases what we all want? I have the Vaio Z1 and I really was looking forward to the Z2. Unfortunately, the cooling sucks and the external video card apparently has bandwidth issues and doesn't work very well. I want a premium screen on a 13 inch, lightweight machine with a great video card. A true mobile gamer. Doesn't need an amazing video card, but something like a GOOD 555m would be great. I don't expect to play everything on high settings on an ultra light, but it'd be nice to get close

At that screen size, no. You will have to go up to 14 inch to get a quad-core processor, and 15 inch to get reasonable GPU performance.

The Vaio Z2's external GPU will most likely still need to plug into a wall, and even then, the performance of a 6650M is still lower than cards like the GT 550M in my laptop.

How thick is this laptop? In millimeters and inches please.
I wonder why they didn't make it a 15 inch or gave it a 1080p screen. With a graphic card such as a GT555M and a 1080p screen they could have more sales.

Because there's already a bunch of 15" laptops with GT 555m. It's all about maximizing performance to size.

On the Korean LG site it said hat it has both 64GB SDD and 750GB HDD. From what I see they somehow manage to add these two drives in this thin laptop. But I'm not sure from the small info I got. Someone help me out!


Just found my laptop for 2012

Don't know too much about the P330, but I'm willing to bet that that's an mSATA SSD + conventional 2.5" HDD arrangement (which the Lenovo Thinkpad X220, among a few other ultraportables, also supports).

The SSD in the P330 is a mSATA SSD. The 64GB SSD and 750GB HDD arrangement is only for the UE70K i7 Version which seems to be about $800 USD more expensive according to the MSRP, the one available now only has a 640GB HDD and 4GB Express Cache.

Finally, instead of going to Korea I found someone who will kindly buy and ship to me in Japan.
If everything goes well (hope customs won t be trouble), i might be able to review this "vaporware notebook" within 2 weeks .

Fantastic, keep us updated.
So what are the specs going to be and how much did you pay if you don't mind me asking?
As soon as you get it we need pics and a review

[gamba66]

congratulations Natadiem, I wish you that the notebook is what we expect

Unfortunately, the IPS models do not have an ETA.

I'm Korean, I know....

They only have the TN models right now, and the i5 model is priced around $1250~1300, while the i7 model is priced at a staggering $1900~2000.
