The Intel Core i3 Laptops are here!

@neji, licensed are preferred, they are updatable in all aspects and either international or national you could always ask the Microsoft to send you a new copy and newer copy for only $10, so tipid parin ba o warranty and benefits of a licensed o.s.?

mga pre..
bkt ka mag licensed O.S kung d ka nmn magaabroad??
hahaha lahat b kau mangingibang bansa?!!
ang dali dali mag install ng o.s eh. i will not pay 7K for such stuff, 40minits ko lng ininstall ung hiniram kong win7 ultimate, tapos ang prblema.walang pakakaiba ung licensed o.s at ung hiniram ko. hahaha

saka n lng ako mag original o.s kung mangingibang bansa n ko. thats nmy opinion, wala nmn cgrong nagchchek ng O.s sa mga bahay bahay.sa airport lng tlga.

hahaha..

Kuya “nvidia is way cool than ati’s” mahirap po yata iclose yan, naka depende po siguro yan sa card na ikukumpara, halimbawa, high-end nvidia GTX 480g at low-end ati HD 3650, malamang mas mainit yung nvidia sa case na yan, hehe. Eto po medyo pareho sa performance na cards ng ati at nvidia na pang laptop na may i3, Yung Performance ng GPU may benchmark scores at frame rate ng mga games dito;
For nvidia 310M – http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-310M.22439.0.html
For ati HD 5145 – http://www.notebookcheck.net/ATI-Mobility-Radeon-HD-5145.24581.0.html
Sa temp. wala ako mahanap eh, kaya sariling sirap kaso ati HD 5145 lang meron dito,
Ave. Temp @ 90-98% GPU load (GPU-z) = 73 Degree Celsius
-nag play nalang ako ng sabay-sabay na 13 hd videos sa 13 vlc players para lng po magkaload yung GPU, kaya nya ng minimal lag.
Ave. Temp @ idle 0% GPU load (GPU-z) = 50 DegreeCelsius

Other GPU idle temp = 48 to 59 Degree Celsius

@ Frank: dual core = i3? ayos hehe, gamit ko ung k42jk i3, 4gb ddr3, 1gb ati5145, 500gb (kapatid ng mga k42jr na naka ati5470, hirapn hanapin ng mga k42jr ngayon eh), sa benchmarks talo nya karamihan ng core 2 duo lalo na ung mga core 2 duo sa laptops, at kung ikinukumpara ko sa desktop dito sa office na quad core 8400, 2gb ddr2, medyo mababa na graphic card, mas mabilis ung setup ng k42jk (hindi kasi patas sa ram at graphic card), at wala akong alam na dual core na mas mabilis sa karamihan ng mga core 2 duo (new higher end dual core to old low end core 2 duo baka pwede pa), hehe…

does anyone know when the Asus K52JR-A1 (core i5) comes out?

@Frank
relabeled Core 2’s? Can you explain why the socket is now 1156 and not 775? I’m pretty sure most of us are aware that the i3’s are part of a new architecture and not a rehash but please, do enlighten us.

Just visited the Lenovo store over at SM North EDSA (the computer store that I’ve visited over 356489607934 times :D), and the salesperson told me that the Lenovo G460 price right there is the credit card price; you’ll get it for less if you pay by cash. (Is that the case for the other models there too?)

Salivating over it right now because of the Full HD LED screen and Nvidia graphics. I SERIOUSLY CAN’T WAIT TO HAVE A JOB T_T

@frank.. wow relabeled, really??? I didn’t know that.. oh well…. core i3 beats the 2 ghz core 2 duos..

@ifat. Nvida330m would be better than the intel graphics accelarator..

@jun, lenovo g460 is already out.. but I rather get the acer or asus because of the video card included. Integrated video card lang kasi yung available as of now..

@abe, MSI CX420 is also out on the market. price tag is at 36K without the OS. The build quality though might have suffered. Holding it, felt a little plasticy and the palmrest felt the same, with a gmask like design…

My advice is to w8 it out..
your patients will always be rewarded.
for me i really need a new laptop..

i3? Hmm.. they have just renamed dual core and made it i3, put some DDR3 memory and then a new product arrives. Great way to confuse the public Intel. by the way i5 is just a new name for quad core only less features and more sockets and i7 also is a quad core only with more features.

the core i5 acer has Intel GMA HD, so which is better, the core i3 with nvidia 310M or the core i5 with Intel GMA HD?

@ifat. same model as stated above, core i5 nga lang! both of were released earlier than the Asus K52/42JR!

Nice specs!
kailan pa kaya ako makakabili niyan ?!

Jsut wait for a month and the prices I bet will significantly lower…jsut as I said the list is getting longer hmmmmmm…

selling laptops without OS? do people really install Linux or licensed OS? rarrrrr!

@Miguel
Apple’s refresh is coming.

No word from Apple!

guys, if you’re looking for Core i3 laptops, the place to go is Tipidpc.com. There are tons of sellers there with high ratings.

sir, where can i see the complete specs specially for ASUS K52JR?

sir, sino mismo ang seller? and how about the warranty?

Not going for those with W7 Basics…I’m sure there were reasons for that. =D

@W@r_Br@!n

i believe that would be the one with no os
