Ivy Bridge laptop

[predator210]

Hello,

With ivy bridge mobile quad cores launching next monday ( 23rd of April), i was wondering when the first laptops using those new CPU's would be available for purchase. Would it take a few days or more like a few weeks / months?

Some sites like eurocom.com are already selling them, so I would say days.

Where do you see ivy bridge CPU's on their site? i can't seem to find any. I really hope you're right, i'm currently without a laptop so i don't have much time before i'll have to buy a new one.

XoticPC is listing a pretty wide range of 3rd Generation Ready new models.

I think you'll see a few of the big players have launch day availability too.
Dell Alienware, HP Envy, etc.

Products page, the neptune 2.0
I swear, no one I send to that site can ever find it... Maybe I'm just in a permanent state of hypnosis...

A link might help.

Or maybe not.

'Cause they doen't seem to be listing any IB there.
They do mention IB support: Processor: up to Intel Extreme Edition i7-2960XM; supports both SB and IVB (22nm) Mobile Processors

Oh yea, check that out. They must have pulled the listing since I last checked.

Maybe Intel gave them a nudge if they noticed them trying to sell IB early.

I seem to recall a similar discussion in an earlier topic with someone who actually gave them a call to check. It was a no-go then too.
