That sager is pretty nice. DDR5 Vid Mem. Though, I'd hate to see battery life and heat on it. Do I also really need 1.5 gigs of memory? It does have a huge performance with 26th on the chart for speed for the gpu. Compared to the 540m on the other Sager I mentioned earlier which is 69th (out of 300). FWIW what Waz and I…

My turn to start such a thread. I cant wait any longer for Bulldozer. Need something for meantime and portability after I get a new desktop eventually. So since just had bday, treating self. Want: Minimums CPU Min: I5 Graphics Card: DX 11 with 1 gig BELOW 90th mark on Benchmarks…
IF you get chugging after limiting to one CPU(set affinity), also do set priority to below normal, this always works for me in xnormal. Often times I will bake normals/color mask in maya, and AO in Xnormal at the same time with this method, i've got 4 cores, but you get the idea. I5 for $715 sounds good if you're thinking…
Otay, What about these? Faster than a netbook, still small, cheap?

This is a matter of tastes :) . oXYnary you should buy what you like and what you need, end of discussion :P. You see, I find netbooks as useless :S because i prefer a better computer and a bigger screen. Each person is a world :D . Well, following the thread topic i would recommed something cheap with this: core i5-480m…
You haven't seen Northwest Falcon Computers then. (Or for that matter Apple) Hboybowen, aren't they just using one of the sager or whitebox with their names plastered on. I saw similar speced for at least $100-250 less on xotic pc. My Laptop comes Friday.
If you wanted to use the laptop with Zbrush, 8gb ram are perfect. The Sager looks pretty damn good man, but it's more expensive than a laptop with a good dual core, 4gb, and a nvidia 540m. And if you are planning on buying a good desktop later, it may be wasted money.
Sounds reasonable, but the refresh of bulldozer is 2 years after release afaik. I don't think it'll be too different, just more cores. For all we know AMD will be broke by then. But that laptop looks solid spec wise, but it's damned ugly. If you can live with how it looks it's definitely the nicest internals.
I want to thank everyone who gave input. Especially EQ and Spicypixel. I ended up getting a refurbished aAlienware m11x r.2. With a discount someone showed me, it ended up $670 (plus tax though which did raise it above 700). Which made it cheaper than that Asus I was looking at and more powerful. So the overview. I7 (2…
