Novatech X50

Thanks for the info Henry.

Rock don't sell laptops without an operating system sadly. From what I have heard, it appears that the 9650M GT with DDR2 should be faster than the 9600M GT with DDR3. I am slightly unsure as to whether the X50 actually has DDR3 anymore because in GPU-Z it says the memory is running at 800mhz which i thought was DDR2...

Can this be confirmed that the X50 MV Pro is only running a DDR2?

Cheers,
Hewi

Sorry for the confusion.... I think the memory is actually GDDR3 when I compared it to the information for my Go 7900GTX which is running DDR3 memory.

One thing I have noticed though is how big this laptop actually is. In comarison to a Clevo M570RU, it is just as deep and only about 2cm narrower (even though it is thinner )

(Note: I am taking the depth of the M570RU as the same as my M570U without the Audio DJ bit)

Whoa, sorry for the mis-information. Hadn't realized that Rock had updated the card in the Pegasus 520 to a 9650M GT from a 9600M GT. Sneeky people!

That should make the Rock better as previously stated. Yet still, not by much.

Mmm, what is with the current spread of 15" high-end laptops that are nearly as big as their 17" brothers?

Rock only updated the card a few days ago when the NDA was lifted on the 19th of August. The X50 has around 2 cm of bezel on either side and 3 - 4 top and bottom!!!
