Notebook Upgrade M570TU to W860CU

Hi all,

Just seen this new w860cu and it looks sexeh as hell. Im currently using a 17" behemoth with 1200 screen resolution and am looking at upgrading hower there are negatives that i can see and wanted to run they by everybody.

1.Only 2 speakers on w860cu is there a massive difference in audio quality?
2 screen resolution, im a webmaster and am constantly online looking after the website and not sure whether the lack of screen real estate is going to be a massive difference? I know thats hard to answer but wondered if anyone went from a 17" to a 15.6" and how they felt with it.

Also is there a W860CU variant that has same style and everything BUT is 17"?

Thank you all

any help will be greatly appreciated

 

The Clevo W870CU has a 17.3" screen (1920x1080). It is essentially the same as the W860CU except for the larger screen and an extra drive bay, plus its increased size may provide marginally improved cooling capacity.

Audio quality is not a strong point on either model; in fact, it's barely acceptable.

 

mmmmmmmmmmm interesting, Anyone in the UK likely to be doing her do you know?

My current lappy is a kobalt machine and yeah your right that are really good. I'm guessing then that the G870 is the W870CU then? lol
