Comments:
- AMD Turion 64 X2 (codenames Taylor and Trinidad) ought to be positioned against the Intel Core Duo and is a 64 Bit dual core processor with DDR2-667 support. The performance can be compared with Core Duo (with equal MHz number).
- NVIDIA GeForce Go 7950 GTX the successor of the GeForce Go 7900 GTX with higher clock speed and the same technical details. Current consumption should be similar like 7900 GTX. It is one of the most powerful mobile video cards, which is available at the moment. It can be compared with current high end desktop video cards. Newest games should run with all details fluently. No doubt, it is sufficient for office applications and surfing.
- NVIDIA Quadro FX 2500M is a professional video card for notebooks from NVidia It is based on 7900GTX. The application performance is very good due to special professional drivers (3D rendering, CAD), but the gaming performance is weaker. With modded drivers, it should work like a 7900GTX. It is part of the best performance class 1 of mobile graphic cards.
- This format for notebook displays exists since 2006 for giant desktop replacement laptops and yet is rarely used. The DTR-Laptops can't be carried easily, need much current, but on the other side texts can be read easily and high resolutions are no problem. DTR mainly are intended for stationary usage on desks, where the weight and the energy need are unimportant.
- This laptop is very heavy compared with the mass of other notebooks. The weight is about average for this display size.
