Penryn model names revealed!

The safest bet if you want a Penryn processors is to wait until OEM's start offering them in notebooks.

 

problem is i have no idea how long its gonna take. Plus the M17x is looking prettty tempting. Along with that ive waited about six years for a new computer and im getting pissed off. lol Im stick with an entry level dell from 6 years ago which i literally have to feed silicon and electrical components to in order for it to run... Maybe ill let my starving dell munch on a new p4 and just wait it out.

 

Have you posted a WNSIB FAQ yet? If you haven't, you definitely should.

 

havent yet maybe i will tomorrow but i think im pretty set on an m17x

 

i just got my laptop in the mail today...should i have waited until these new chips drop? are they really gonna be that much of an improvement (i'm pretty much a non-gamer, occasionally play sim city/sims/warcraft3/civ4)?

 

i dont really think its gonna matter for you that much. But then again i dont really have a great idea of what you use your computer for

 

okay i need advice, im going for the benq joybook s41, really good specs for the price here. then my friend told me about this new processors so here i am, my question is that would this new processor affect the prices? im looking into getting one on january. and i really dont want to browse through a whole new price list figuring out what laptop to get. is it really that worth it?

 

Ahhh.

I wonder when OEM's such as Dell, Lenovo, etc. will implement these chips into their laptops :|?

As a high school student, I'm thinking about buying a laptop, but I won't be earning the amount of money I'm willing to spend on a laptop (probably.. 1300-1500$), for a good 5-6 months.

Maybe they'll implement those chips by then?

 

Most likely, yes.
