Hello everyone,
Im trying to get the best option for my money since in a few Days im probably going to buy a laptop.
Now, i know you might want to get to the point, but first there is something imporatnt that i need to tell you.
My laptop got stolen, and it was a MSI GX623 (P7350+ati 4670+4gb ddr2).
This laptop costed me 790 Euro, over a year ago.
Im looking now, and seems that a nvidia 540 is almost as powefull as my old 4670 (most of my data comes from notebookcheck.org).
The problem is: I need to spend 1k E now to get pretty much the same performance in most games (meaning i will be able to play high quality same way, but not very high).
Sure, ill get a flashy i5-2410, but its still gpu limited.
I was looking at some places for a strong version of a gpu (like a 6970M), but only place they dont want a crazy ammount of money for a laptop with that is deviltech.de.
I checked their forums, they get about 8 technical problems on their forum with laptops each month, and since those are not "mainstream" laptops, im assuming thats a good portion of their sales.
Also i noted the battery lifetime is just ridiculusly low on laptops with higher end gpus, and most wont even work if you dont plug to a wall socket anyway.
Becouse of this i was basicly deciding to go with a mid range gpu 540/550/555.
My problem is: Do you guys think there is any worth in waiting for the ultrabooks to kick in to get lower prices and perhaps better hardware?
Or you think that there just is no way they can make a good laptop with good battery in the next 10 years becouse a good GPU needs power, and a laptop dosent have it anyway?
