Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
the title is pretty clear. Any rumors on a new build, chasis or anything? I am buying a 8170 on/b4 black friday, just wanted to know if they is some news , thanks guys

For a Clevo / Sager machine that would be a replacement for the 8170, I think you would be looking at Q2 2012.

ah, thats a lil more time than i want to wait, I hope they tailor the machine to reduce the dimensions and weight to intel/nvidia/amd's new 22,28nm process! that will be fun to watch!

i think 2.2 2nd gen intel quad and 6990m should be fine for 2years atleast. I usually buy newer ones in a year. the sager i m looking to buy will be my 5th laptop in 2 years !
i havent seen the p170m or 8170 physically. but reducing the die would give out less heat, so we should see a size reduction in laps. rem the whole intel ultrabook scene?
-
The smaller fab is usually offset by an increase in transistors, resulting in a very similar thermal footprint at faster speeds. I don't know if I would count on there being a significant drop. I don't think anyone buys a p170hm for it's portability

lol, thats true. they do increase the transistor count, but my point is for the same transistor count, its generating less heat , hence more efficient. I work with advanced Nano batteries. I notice that once the material is in nano scale, it does not have to obey the rules that have the molecular forces acting on it(like vander waals and all that). Its greatly reduced, so it should be fairly a big improvement. Believe me I dont care much about portability , my previous laptop was a 18.4inch qosmio !
But if we can get the same hardware at a pound less, ill take it man!

Does anyone know of the next model to replace np8170
