want to know if you are bying the new 1039. If yes from who ??

Also How much total ?

thanks

 

Will be as soon as I get my settlement check and either xmeld or rawpowerpc. they way I configured it (almost max except for the processor 2.0Ghz is fine) it was a little under 2K

 

everything maxed out for me, was around 1580 w/ shipping and no operating system.

 

I don't think i'll get the 1039.. need something a lil more portable (looking at the upcoming 1024).. but if I had to buy, it'd be either xmeld or rawpowerpc.. both have been so friendly..infact the way they talk is so similar I think they're really the same person :O if only i had money, I'd buy from the both of them

 

Im still debating whether I should get the Asus a8jm or 1039..

 

I was planning on buying it when it came out, but due to recent financial considerations, by the time I can buy it, there'll be something new out that is more suitable for me.

But we'll see what's up when that happens.

 

I am hoping to buy it from various areas...

Turion 64 MT-40…….$270.00 http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=120038&AFFIL=pg&NR=1

2 GB Kingston ram……$112.36

Seagate Momentus 100GB 7200.1rpm Hard Drive……...$191.00

And of course the MS-1039 barebone it self I am waiting for the WSXGA screen
I am guessing its going to be about $925.00

so added all up……$1532.34

 

I can say that they aren't as I have recieved private messages from them both at almost the same time. Not too mention that I know of a trip to Cali where they had some fun.

 

from where gatorade ?

I know that United Micro has some really good deals on this notebook. Goto http://www.unitedmicro.com/cgi-bin/ntz.cgi?NT3MS1039S and you can select whatever you want to put into it. I also spoke to Chris in sales at 800-943-7255 x207 and he was more than helpfull and helping me with pricing. I know I'm going to buy from them, I suggest you do too.

 

/agree

looked at unitedmicro and they have the option of the ml-44 which is quite amazingg, maybe have to save some change for that

Would there be a big difference between the ml-44 and ml-40? in gaming?

 

The major difference is the ML processors operates at 35w

-and I thought the ML processors were incompatible to the MS-1039......CS unleaded?


The MT operates at 25w... so it will have longer battery life and I don’t think the performance really suffers much.

I would choose the MT processor over the ML

 

The ML will work in the 1039 (as it will in the 1029), but the MT is the recommended solution. With the heat history of the 1029, I wouldn't put the ML series in the 1039, nor will Xmeld offer it, at least not until the heat testing on the unit is done.

The ML has an extremely slight power advantage, but nothing you would notice without software measurement. Unless you're ekeing out that last 10 points on 3dMark, it's not worth it.

Not to mention, the price point on the ML44 is crazy, not worth the bump in performance. The MT-40 or even MT-37 is plenty of power.

 

hmmmm............lets add more heat for 200 more Mhz, yeah that makes sense to me. MT-40 for me.

 

I totally agree. I have to wonder why AMD (and most large manufacturers) focus on the ML over the MT line. If you want a little more speed, overclock your MT. From what I've read that will perform better than undervolting your ML. Just my $.02

As desperate as I was for a new laptop a week or two ago, I've decided to wait a bit more for the X2's. I just hope they don't have the same delays as the 1039 did. I am bummed to hear that X2's will be 35w TDP without a 25w option available until they go to 65nm next year. I'm also hoping MSI will come out with a 14.1" or 13.3" for the Turion X2, but that may be dreaming too much.

We got some new dells at work, so I can use that on the road for another month or so. I just can't load/play any games.

 

I think you'll see an MSI 14" x2, but I wouldn't wait around for a 13" model.

 

I dont think MSI has ever made a 13" laptop, they are always 14" or 12.1" right?

 

I just bought one barebones from EWiz.com. $818 plus shipping, came out to $844 total. Seems like the cheapest so far.

I'm just going to throw in the MT-40, 60gb hd and 1gb RAM from my 1029.

 

damien,

should be fast - let us konw how it goes.

 

i went with rawpowerpc.com based on the great reviews i've heard about them. around $1560 with the WXGA screen, MT40, 2gig ram, 80gig 7200rpm hdd, and wireless/bluetooth combo.

on the minus side, been waiting since last wed. and still only at the "order received" stage (1 out of 5)

 

two questions, can i get soemthing like this in the U.K? if not, can i ship one from the Canada or the U.S? cos were getting ripped off here!

this is one company that uses the MSI chasis i think? im not sure, but it has same spec and looks.

http://www.evesham.com/products/info.asp?e=B2814E0D-5457-484C-9745-01F826880EB8

this is what im looking to get at the moment, but the options to configure it are complete crap!!

 

wow £899.00?!!?!? for the MS-1039!?!?!?
yikes that is pricey

hmmm after looking at the MSI uk site I couldnt find any laptops new than the S270
...hmm maybe you can find one on Ebay?
