parn SG Hello all, I'm planning to get a good light/compact notebook with a strong and dedicated graphic card in it...something like ATI X1600 w/256mb for example? (I do not know As pricing will not be an issue, please give me your best suggestions with brand/model/specs/price if possible. Thanks all in advance.
dakkon_blackblade SG Light, ultra-portable notebooks usually don’t come with dedicated graphics cards. And even if they do, I think the possibility of overheating would be very high, as graphics cards generate quite a great deal of heat.
M©+square SG Kindly state your 1- notebook size preference. 12.1" / 14.1"inch 2 - Your basic program(s) usage.
chenc SG Light and cool design? Powerful processing and extreme graphics? Price is not a problem? Well, go for Alienware!!!
parn SG Must not be heavier than 2.7kg (or my spinal disc will degenerate), I will be using it to run Maya, compiling programs using Java3D and OpenGL. Thinking of iMac too....hmm.... Need to buy it this week.
dakkon_blackblade SG Lol...as far as I know Alienware is not available here. You'd have to fly to the US to get it. And be prepared to pay through the nose.
ndmmxiaomayi SG As far as I know, there are no shops in Singapore that sells Alienware notebooks. You have to order online.
