    Panasonic ToughBook CF-Y7

    What sort of performance can I expect from the
    Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor Low Voltage L7500
    1.60Ghz at 800Mhz FSB?

    H264 video playback at 720p res possible for instance? :)
    (on XP)

    Thanks!!!

    1.6GHz dual core isn't too bad. It should be about the same as my old Samsung X60 (link below to review). Also see the Trusted Reviews review. However, neither of these directly answer your question.

    Here's a (not good)review but I could not find any thing else, I hope NBR review it soon.

    I think this laptopmag site does not know what they are talking about , since they are asking Panasonic to put a discrete graphics into this model.

    This is a ultraportable with very rugged case , so who cares how well it performs in 3dmark 06.
    Also , Panasonic lets you CTO this so why this guy complaining about the amount of ram, it is his choice and his choice of ram is changeable.

    I always find this laptopmag review very silly , but I could not find anything better written in English , I know many Japanese reviews but most of them are useless.

    Sorry.

    I read somewhere that the Intel GMA965 chipset has some form of H246 AVC
    accelleration included, so it should be able to do that sort of video, ne?

    I understand that this chipset is also called x3100?
    In the specs for the laptop above, they use "Video Memory 384MB"
    I understand that this is SHARED memory?

    Thanks again :)

    right, is the shared one and is not dedicated but for a non-gamer , I think it is better with regard for BL and noise emmision.

    One final thing, these Toughbook's are called Let's Note in Japan?
    A Japanese friend of mine bought the CF-W7 Let's Note a short while ago,
    and she's very pleased with it. That would be a Toughbook CF-W7 internationally?
