So how is the Sonoma platform compared to previous Centrino platforms? I can't find any recent Media Accelerator 900 benchmarks (none at all actually, just the desktop Integrated version). I've read there are some problems with rendering, is it only with DX9 games, have they released drivers to fix that?
And the battery life - I would expect it to be improved, but have found some articles that say the opposite. How's that possible? (maybe uncomparable laptops tested...)
I hope someone with a Sonoma based laptop can help me here? If I'm buying a laptop now (inexpensive - low end, Celeron M) should I choose Sonoma or are there any reasons why I shouldn't (like noise levels or overheating etc.)
Seems everyone already got their Centrino laptops and there isn't much interest in the new platform Just my impression after some Googling today
