Official P-7811 specs

Here are the specs for the upcoming P-7811 notebok from Gateway. It looks like our P-6831/P-6860 are already outmoded. I bought my 6831 back in February and even added in a new Core2 T9300 this month! I feel like an idiot. I could have saved the upgrade money and bought the 7811 while selling my aging 6831.

This has already been brought up in a number of threads. Don't feel bad. The 6831 with a T9300 is going to perform quite similarly to the 7811.

 

Yeah, plus the ddr3 starting modules won't outperform your ddr2. So basically the samething with a slightly faster video card.

 

The main advantage of the 7811 as I see it is the higher screen resolution. Changing the LCD in my 6831 would be too much of a job. At least the 8800M GTS will run faster at the lower native resolution of the 6831.

 

there should be "no more 7811 threads" thread

 

No - that should be a STICKY!

I vote for no more "What Kinda Bag Should I Get?" threads. Sheesh.

 

Seconded.

Yes - those are rather ridiculous - visit Targus.com

Of course, the above sentence will start an onslaught of anti-Targus comments... Not that I really care for Targus, just giving an example.

I feel cheated if I can't run a game at a monitor's native resolution. Provided it can use my monitor's native resolution: 1440x900. I think the 7811 will show it's age slightly faster (with lower framerates at the native resolution) than the 6831 due to the higher resolution on the 7811. I think the 8800m gts and the 1440x900 resolution are a better match.

However, I'm slightly biased because I own a P-6831FX (upgraded to a T8300 processor). The 7811 is a great buy, but something will eclipse it in another six months or less. So, enjoy what you have now.

 

Most everything said here is true and makes total sense. Nice post.

 

ok we should make a sticky of what threads will cause you ban for life:

1. new 7811 threads
2. 17" bags will it fit threads
3. max fps of unreleased games
4. ........
5. ........

please feel free to add as you like...

this post was using sarcasm, please advise your local dictionary for details.

 

Thanks Dook! Now, I can go to sleep.

 

4.) Will my laptop run it
5.) Which notebook should I buy

 

I flippin agree. The thread I made, The official one should be stickied and the other one that chase made should be merged.

just my opinion
