LG P330 (i7 + Nvidia 555m!)

You apparently made quite a good deal there. 1920usd for UE70K model isn't bad at all. I paid 1267usd for the UE40K model with the shipping to Finland If the customs will notice it and they make me to pay the taxes, then the price will climb to 1600 usd But we'll see about that.

I guess that's my job, right?

But I highly doubt they will not notice the sealed box...

Yeah According to my previous experiences they are pretty good with that, but sometimes I have received goods right under their noses

btw. Thank you Ryan for this, I'm pretty excited to swap from my Asus to LG

However, I think when Ivy Bridge and the Radeon HD 7000/GT(X) 600's come out Q1 of next year, there will be significant temperature drops for laptops with equal specs in GPU/CPU because of the 10nm shrink from Sandy Bridge to Ivy Bridge.

yes this will be very interesting to see!

the 22nm ivy bridge and 28nm gpu should enable a lower voltage and thus less heat..

But, in theory (this is just plain guessing), it seems the smaller the cpus got the more heat they produce, if you compare c2d to sb, they do run alot cooler.. im not sure if the upped transistor amount creates more heat.. but as i said i have no clue, if someone knows anything about this topic please enlighten me

I'm not sure if it will run cooler, but I think it will be able to handle heat better. For example, my old Dell XPS M1330 got to high 80's low 90's CPU when gaming, but the GPU got to about 110, had unexpected shutdowns, and then ceased to work after a while.

But I really can't tell, because I have only had my Y470 for half a year and I haven't done too much gaming on it after I got my free workstation from my Dad's company.


I'm pretty much basing a lot of my beliefs on the Radeon 4000 series vs the Radeon 5000 series, cause the 5870 > 4890 but the 4890 was an oven according to other people

Hey Everyone,

I am still not back to my home in Japan but I will be back tomorrow. The good news is that the notebook package has arrived to my home .
I will probably post my first impressions tomorrow and I will prepare in another thread a deep review about this notebook.
If someone else get it maybe we can open a lounge thread .
Of course the first test will be "heat management" through heavy benchmarking .

Looking forward to it Natadiem

Thanks for your effort to imform us!

Sounds fantastic My P330 is on its way in the hands of the EMS courier, should come to me in a week or so. I'm looking foward the lounge thread

Enjoy!

It also had the option of an English windows so I chose English and entered your name.

I also created a recovery partition on the hard drive. It should be good to go as soon as you receive it.

Ok finally I have my p330.
I used it for a couple of hours so far. It s small, silent and powerful. Screen has low contrast but brightness is good. I prefer this screen than m14x one, especially for colours.
I played supreme commander with everything maximized and no problem it was really fast.
The one problem i have in order to properly test everything are nvidia driver. The one with lg is 270 something so far i couldn t install anything newer. Because of this i can t play diablo 3 beta with nvidia card. Skyrim is very impressive already but it would be so much better with new driver. Does anyone has a way around?
Other than that i could work 5h30 doing excel and 70 percent brightness. My ssd 512gb m4 was not recognized from the machine.
Speakers are really bad but touchpad is surprisingly good.
So far zero problem from heat but i didn t properly test it yet. Still my m14x was way warmer just playing games.
If you have any questions please do so. My mbp 17 is going to be sold, i have know same power for half size and weight!
