FISHMANPET posted:I don't know enough about CPUs anymore, someone make me feel better and tell me that I won't be buying my girlfriend a laptop that is less powerful than what she has now Read the freakin op dude. The Celeron M 350 1.3 ghz is number 287 on that list. The SU2300 is 178. The new one is much faster. It's got two cores and the architecture is totally different, the frequency can't be compared.

FISHMANPET posted:I saw that after I posted, and then got confused because they didn't have any actual benchmarks on the M350, and only one on the SU2300. And then I had to run to work and forgot to edit PassMark has the SU2300 at 925 marks and that Celeron M at 334.

Ensign Expendable posted:Do they make laptops with decent graphics cards and without huge screens? I'd like something that I can play games on in the 14-15 inch range. If not, is the 4500 Intel integrated graphics card good enough to play recent titles? Doesn't necessarily have to be at the highest quality, I just want my laptop to be able to play games that came out after Half-Life 2. No. The 4500 can't even handle HL2, let alone anything after. There are plenty of laptops with video cards in the 15" range. 14, the ASUS UL80vt is an option.

Jewmanji posted:I picked up an Asus UL80-vT from amazon recently for $700 with a $100 gift card included. Really? They gouged the price then, it's up to $823 without any card right now. I'm holding out a few weeks and hoping for a post-holiday deal on one of the UL series, they look really nice

ryanbruce posted:So the Vostro V13 was released with pretty limited fanfare, but it looks like a spectacular unit for its price point. It's super thin and super super light which is rather tempting. The ASUS UL series is the CULV standard. Compare against that. The UL30A-X5 is 699 on amazon, has 4 gb ram, 64 bit windows, 500 gb hdd, and a bigger battery.

The_Angry_Turtle posted:Apparently I'm getting a Dell Studio 15 as my Christmas gift to replace my 7 year old Vaio and I'm a bit worried as to whether or not I'll be able to play any games at all on it. Sure, old stuff. Think Deus Ex, Max Payne. The graphics is too weak to play anything remotely modern.

The_Angry_Turtle posted:Would something like The Witcher be possible on minimum settings? My current laptop has an Nvidia 6600 GO and a mediocre processor so would this new machine be WORSE? Unfortunately your graphics bottleneck is not going to improve much. You should be able to run pretty much anything (the 4500 does dx10 for some reason) but your average fps is going to be miserable even on absolute minimum settings. http://pcgamingcorner.com/wordpress/?p=820 Your laptop will be decently fast at pretty much anything except games, though

There are few options if you want a resolution higher than 1366 on a laptop with a screen below 16 inches, and none that I can find that are CULV. If you're doing stuff like flash development that requires a lot of screen space, ideally you'd have a workspace with at least an external monitor

Hadlock posted:Wait for haswell. On June 2nd there will be a ton of new touchscreen models. All haswell powered ultrabooks will have a touchscreen. All of them. Isn't that just when the processors are being released? I haven't seen anyone talk about a specific Haswell product. I want a convertible ultrabook, but maybe I'll wait and see if the next gen has less crappy battery life...
