There's a temporay promotion to buy this notebook for 599€, from what i can see it's the best in that price range, but i have some doubt...

How compare the M500 (caspian 2,2GHz 1MB L2) against T6600?
The mobile 4650 has hight idle consumption like the desktop one?
How many hours is the autonomy? i can't find nowhere

 

[fehu]

And what is the chipset? does it support hybrid graphics?
damn hp site...

It should be able to switch between onboard and the 4650 but you're not going to be able to use hybrid xfire, the 4650 is too fast for that. And idle power is most likely lower, but this would just be due to clock speed and lower voltages. There isn't any difference between the mobile and desktop versions of the asic

I'm a little confused about the chipset
Does every amd notebook have and integrated graphic even if it has a discrete gpu?
I'm not much into notebook gaming, but hybrid can be great to extend battery life

I'm a little frustrated about spending (for me) a lot of money without the opportunity to know every detail

 

[Freak'n Big Panda]

yea every notebook is going to have an integrated GPU, the chipset is probably RS 780, or 880 but 880 is indentical.

so this must be a Tigris platfom?
niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!

It's looking good. The CPU is an Athlon II X2, now a close equivalent to the core 2 duos.

It's a TurionII derivative of the phenom, Athlon are old architecture and 65nm
so even better!

There's a limited offer, in number and time, I hope to get one like in that shaerzneger film on christmans shopping
