Bought my new laptop

[Son Goku]

Yeah, I figured the CPUs should be near identical. Wasn't sure about the gfx though. Thx Would be interesting to see a laptop stomp many desktops in benchies though

Well Gary, have fun. And yeah, it does sound like this should hold you off nicely, in the dorms I'm gathering?

 

[Gary Pandher]

lemme know what benchies to run and i'll have em up for you 2nite

 

[Son Goku]

Well just some of the standard stuff I guess, along with some of the games you would be looking to play on this thing

Not sure what games you're interested in though... Would probably give you a certain sense of satisfaction to see some of your fav games pulling some really good numbers, before you leave

 

[Gary Pandher]

3dmark01 - 3dmark03 - aquamark nethin else?

 

[Gary Pandher]

Benchmarks:
3dmark03 = 3437

3dmark01se = 12551

PCMark04 = 4056

Aquamark =
Triangles/Sec : 8645988tps
Frames/Sec : 28.72fps
GFX : 3426
CPU : 8870
Overall : 28721

These were pretty much out of the box tests, just installed omega 4.5's instead of the drivers that came with it


Mobile Meter: (while writing up this review)
CPU Speed: 2.23 GHz
CPU temp: 47*C
HDD temp: 42*C

NOTE: These were from a while ago the temps have changed (dropped) after applying as3 to the cpu

thats not too bad... should be able to game rather well with it

btw I had mentioned that the gfx card was similar to mine... I had gotten into the mind-set you had the 9800 (all that jazz on the last page )...

your gpu should perform around the level of a 9600xt actually and slower than a dtop r300 series product..

 

[Son Goku]

Yeah, you should be able to game. The other side of moving on campus...(if I'm correct in assuming this) is that there broadband connection

Yeah, yeah, I know peeps buy them for their school work, but invariably end up installing games

 

[Gary Pandher]

got broadband connection set up at home all wireless and ones wired for my dop

hey gary i just reccommend this laptop to my friend, hes ganna buy it tommow, with exactly the same specs as u, how do u feel about this laptop? btw i know ull say great, but thats not the reason im here, i wanna ask where can he buy this in dallas in a store, cuz his dad wants to buy it from a store, if its not possible then he will buy it from the site u bought it from

 

[Gary Pandher]

wow..late reply..haven't been on the site for a while..sorry lol and yea i do think the laptop is great they have released 3 bios fixes that fixed pretty much every flaw with it and it runs cool and great now screens beautiful no dead pixels processing power is great and it clocks down to save battery so thats a great help. as for the store its not available in a store. the company (PCTorque) has a store in florida if he wants to get it from there otherwise they ship out to wherever..im in canada i got it shipped to some relatives in michigan and picked it up there and everything worked out great. All the sales reps are great to work with and actually know what their talking about so it shouldn't be a problem at all..again sorry for the late reply

Such a nice laptop, and 17" inch screen as well! First time I've ever seen an A64 on a laptop. Congrats on the purchase
