M9750 or wait?? Help me please!

Hi i'm italian sorry for my very bad english..

I would to buy an AlienWare M9750 but i fear that soon, there will an upgrade for this model of Alienware notebook... (Cpu and VGA)

The m17x is a very good notebook but it's too heavy for me
Anyone can halp me to decide?

Tnx a lot!

 

id wait. the 8700m gt and the t7600 are weak and not updated. therefore, the memory is limited to the CPU speed or less, i believe 667mhz or 800mhz. so id wait for better components (the 9 series of nvidia cards, which have been out for a while now, and the P montevina series refresh. Example is a p8600 or p9500.) If not, wait even longer for the CPU's with a 1333mhz FSB, 4GB DDR3 1333mhz RAM, and a 9 series or newer graphics card. i believe the next series will be the 200's

 

TNX!!!! But wait for a long time in your opinion or there will soon an update?

 

hmmm, that is the tough part. i will talk to alienware support now. i will tell u what they think.

 

i talked to them and they are clueless idiots.

 

ehheheh tnx i'll be wait for news...

 

I don't think there will be another 17" model for maybe another 9+ months. It's a bit heavy, but the m17x seems like a very solid machine. Dual 9800M GTs will last a while.

 

if you get an m9750 then that would be a total waste, because in 5 months or so, you'll have to lower your settings. so you'de better wait.

 

There is no reason to buy an m9750 at this point, unless you're completely enthralled with the aesthetics of the case and are willing to compromise price and performance for it. You'd do much better to get something like a Gateway P-7811 FX for less money. I don't anticipate any upgrades for the m9750 at this point. I say this as a very satisfied owner of an m9750, but it's just not competitive anymore.

 

There IS a upgraded version called whitebook, many resellers like xoticPC carry it. http://www.xoticpc.com/force-extrem...rima-w840-ocznbim17a-w840di-order-p-2495.html

 

tnx guys!!!! Now i'll se for m17x... only problem the weight... but now i have the ideas more clear...

 

You might want to consider better alternatives, if you aren't set 100% on an Alienware. Check out the computers at darksmileysystems.com

They're a Sager reseller. They offer a fairly light 17" laptop called the NP5796. The NP5793 is on a very, very nice sale right now if you're going to purchase it.

The OCZ whitebook is another great option, as it is basically a new version of the M970 without alienware branding.

 

I agree with Nirvana that the OCZ Whitebook would be the way to go. It is the exact same chasis as the m9750. But it has crossfire, and the current Centrino 2 Duo processors. You might want to give it a look.
