ATI 5730 in Asus.......

Thank you. But I believe Asus N61Jq and N61Ja both have also ATI 5730 1 GB card and i7/i5/i3 options with 16" 720p LCD.

 

I'll admit, I was wrong about the 5730's specs.

 

And about Mobility 5770 that was supposed not to exist
But I guess this generation of ATI Mobility Radeon surprised us all, so it was hard to predict anything.

 

hhmm...i have'nt seen this card at $1000 price mark or am i missing something??

 

$1000 is the price for the laptop which houses the 5730.

 

yea..the current ones offering ATI DDR5 in Asus on Xoticpc.com or powernotebooks.com are running around $1600... a bit out of my budget

ASUS N61JQ-A1 on http://www.xoticpc.com/asus-n61jqa1-order-p-2734.html?wconfigure=yes is running at about $1050 but it has GDDR3 ..!!

 

That speaker and power button design reminds me of the Acer Gemstone series.

 

It is released now in Europe, I see several stores listing its status as 'in stock'.

So hopefully we will see some reviews and benchies soon.

 

that price on the link seems to be around $1400 and $1700 respectively...is that correct??

 

You can't do a direct Kroner to USD conversion if that's what you're asking. Things are more expensive in Europe for many reasons (vat etc).

If you want to know what it'll cost in the US, you should check some US stores. That link was just to demonstrate that the laptop is physically in stock in some places. So you'll see reviews and benches soon.

 

ohokk...i just converted Denmark kroner to USD...hopefully it will be around $1000 when its available in USA...coz that is my limit..

 

edit: nm, hadn't realise how long the thread is and it'd already been responded to. Needless to say, being UK based, I LIKE a UK style keyboard
If the laptop is about $1700 in Europe, if its anything like a lot of companies pricing, expect it in the $1100-1400 in the US.

 

Nah I'm still not sold on that one, but I'll concede if it shows up in a machine.

 

That's not fair It's officially available and you are officially wrong
I doubt it's gonna be available too- I mean even HD4670 has been available in only two or three notebooks.
I don't expect to see HD 5750 either- at one time inf file of Acer ATI drivers had several of them listed but newer version of this file has the same hardware codes assigned to HD 5650.
