Trinity laptops are here

[dashing.sujay]

if not cheap then they should be available at same or marginally high price but they will be cheaper to produce ( WIKIPEDIA ) see above post

Didn't see that as you added it later on.

Moore's law is about to complete its life TBH.

Shrinking die was not possible anymore (before 3D tri gate transistors), that's why the development was made.

And by the time IBs get cheaper, SBs would be out of market.

Is there any source for the list of all trinity based laptops available in India?

 

[Skyh3ck]

Please talk about Trinity its too much of intel talk

@rish
thanx for the suggestions but none of them fulfil my needs.
because 3 year warranty generally costs 6k it has to be 29k, and for 29k I am not getting what i want - 4 GB ram

 

[rish1]

thats what i am telling you wait for the i3 3rd gen they will be available for 28 k as i5 3rd gen is available for 34k on fk and must be cheaper locally and as sam told us it can get cheaper by 1k if we return the bag . Even if they are with 2gb like the above ones you can add another 2gb ram which hardly costs 700 rs. And rest can go to warranty.
Ram and hdd are upgradable parts
and if you dont care much about brand acer , samsung will have models for 26- 27k.

and if it still does not fit your budget you can eye on intel 3rd gen pentium dual core which wont have hd 4000 but will have hd 3000 ( all games launched in 2010 and before easily playable )
and will be available for 22k
though i3 and pentium dual core are expected to be launched in Q3 2012

on trinity side as it is a trinity thread

i read your previous post regarding adding a dgpu makes it moot .
Amd also offers switchable graphics option that means you can use igpu when u want to save battery,
dgpu when you want more performance and dont care about battery and xfire when you want a gaming powerhouse.
So an a6 4400m and 7470m model from asus will be available for 26k

and to give you more hope
see this

Extended Warranty

2year additional warranty for 2500 rs

It will be possible in Vaio as their warranty extension is cheap. Even if the laptop costs 32k (suppose), 2.5k (for warranty) + 700 (2GB RAM) = 35.2k

sujay bro do you know how much hp extended warranty cost for laptop ? I am unable to find price on net.
2 months back there was offer for 2 year extended warranty for rs 1000 i guess it has expired now.
So whats the current price if you know ?

 

[dashing.sujay]

My friend was offered 4k for his compaq (handles by HP). Can't say about dv6 series.

for now only a single laptop. i'll list all Trinity based laptops you can buy here.

and if it still does not fit your budget you can eye on intel 3rd gen pentium dual core which wont have hd 4000 but will have hd 3000

i have a feeling that there mayn't be any IVB based dual core soon. cause Intel is still launching SB based dual core. and IVB based DC will still have some crappy HD graphics with less EU and lower clock. and no turbo whatsoever.

dual core + slow GPU. bad idea. they should instead go for A8 without any GPU. adding a GPU just for the "1GB memory" tag is a real nonsense idea and most customers simply fall prey to it.

BTW any idea how is AMD switchable graphics compared to Nvidia Optimus? does switchable graphics really save power or as effective as Optimus? Though if idle power is 2-3W, then it is better to simply idle the GPU (which can be the actual trick AMD uses).

@ssk_the_gr8, check this: HP Unveils New Fleet of Business-driven PCs | HP ProBook 6475b. exactly the laptop you need

 

[dashing.sujay]

Graphics switching works absolutely fine for me, never faced any issue till date.

 

[coderunknown]

i mean how is the power saving? cause if it is equivalent to Optimus i doubt AMD will give such a simple name. rather naming it like RadeonSwitch or something.

 

[dashing.sujay]

Its just called graphical switching here

Power saving wise, I never tried, but people say its adds 1-2 hr battery life, which means at least 40% power save.

 

[skeletor]

It's called AMD Bacon or PowerXpress 4.0.

 

[dashing.sujay]

Strangely its not mentioned nowhere in graphical switching settings or catalyst.

 

[coderunknown]

It's called AMD Bacon or PowerXpress 4.0.

first time heard about bacon though i know something call PowerXpress. never took the trouble of checking what it is. AMD Dynamic Switchable Graphics (PowerXPress 4.0 / BACON) vs. Nvidia Optimus

 

[dashing.sujay]

AMD switching has improved a lot since then.

 

[skeletor]

Both are crappy with issues.

I didn't faced any issues till date.

ohh sorry i wanted to write a8 4500m and 7470m just like asus k55d which i showed u earlier .
Trinity's second child "A8" ASUS K55D this evaluation - Notebook

if x53ta with a fast dgpu was for 27k then a8 with slow dgpu will come for 26 k , sorry for the typo was watching tv while and yeah the test conducted by semiaccurate forum for a6 cpu showed cinebench score around 0.9 which is very low

and regarding pdc you are right they have even shifted the date to q4 2012 expect it by october and even core i3 do not have turbo forget about pdc .
