Hey fellas.
always been a reader of the anandtech forums, first time poster. Im in the market to buy a notebook.
ive already done all my research, but.. cpl things.
1 - does anyone kno anything about the ASUS z81k notebook (as in im definetly going to get this, but wondering if there are any MAJOR problems).
2 - a general question about AMD chips, the Mobile Athlon-64 and the Turion are the same things pretty much? i know the turion is more energy efficent and uses less wattage.. however interms of computer speed, are they equivilent (like the turion m-30 vs m-athlon 3700+)?
for reference here is the notebook im getting - for $1500 from ibuypower.com. (comments about this deal or this seller appreciated too)
-Asus Z81K Notebook, 15.4" 16:10 Wide Screen WSXGA+ 1680x1050 w/Li-Ion Battery, Universal AC Power Adapter, Deluxe Carrying Case
-Mobile AMD® Athlon-64 3700+ CPU
-1024MB [512MB X2] DDR-400 PC-3200 (Corsair brnd)
-ATI 128MB Mobility Radeon 9700 pro 256-bit 3d Video
-60 GB 7200rpm ATA-100 Super Slim Notebook Hard Drive
-8x Dual Format DVD±R/±RW & 16X CD-RW Combo Drive [Z81K]
-and the usual wireless mumbojumbo.
Thanks for your time, and i appreciate the info in advance
