Xi 1547

Anyone seen or heard anything about it yet? The FSC spec sheet for the Xi 1546/1547 says the Core duo 2 is and option.Maybe we will see it come when the new chip is available.
Maybe next month.........maybe......

 

still doing the waiting game too. not sure if i should ge the xi 1546 nooow. or wait? what do you think?

 

Remember, it took Fujitsu ages to release an update of the M3438G, to Core Duo, and they'll probably take just as long to upgrade the XI. Yes, Core 2 Duo will bring a slighly faster architecture to the table, and 64-bit, but you'll have to wait. The price most likely will be on the high side as well.

I went and bought mine, because I needed to buy a notebook, and looking back, I wouldn't have waited for Core 2 Duo to hit the XI. Anyway, I'm very happy with the notebook. Unless, people are doing very intensive stuff on the XI, I would go and buy a model with Core Duo. It's still a very good processor, and still more than fast enough for ven the most demanding programs. As for games, the graphics card governs that, so an increase in speed from the processor won't make much of a difference.

 

Strange you guys are not awared ? the core 2 duo is out on FJS, in France we have many site selling it (pr order though) but they give delivery date of 1 week. But what I am waitng ot see is 1547 as it seem to have beter screen. Any news abot it ? or it is just fake as i never heard seen it anywhere :S

 

hey hillbilly...check this out, found this by chance, im waiting too....although if the waiting time takes too long...im jsut gonna go with the normal core duo. says delivery expected on theee..28th of this month..ic ant rememerb where i read it...but im sure thats what they said. as to how correct that statement is...well..only time will tell. but jsut check out the price tag!! (if its true..)

Do you think that is 2x80gig drives or 1x160gig unit? (I think they are up to 160gig now??)
5400rpm???
Spec sheet is abit vage

 

i really dont know mate. id really love for it to be 2x80 at 7200rpm...but i suppose its most likely not. incidently, can you physically HAVE a single 160gb hardrive in a notebook? right now, the non core 2 duo seems most likely, simply because im really under pressure to buy right away!

wait.....ive checked the spec sheet http://www.fujitsu-siemens.com/Resources/151/948767187.pdf

and if you look at the HDD part..it dosnt say anything about a 7200rpm. it even states that there will be a 160gb model in Q3 but nothing else. mind you....id dosnt say anything about 2x100gb in the model available now...soooo..you never know!!!

the core2duop model DOES come with 2gb memory installed...so i see that as a bonus!

 

As Chaz said,you can always bolt in another HDD imagine 320gig og HDD space in raid 0......
I am very close to buying to,i'm back in the UK nextweek so hopefully the CD2 will be out buy then or it will be a xps1710 for a whole lot more $$
The xi1546 does look nice though

 

ouch! the XPS range is **** expensive....and not nearly as nice as the XI in my opinion...oh i got it. i read a review on...wait, let me try and find it...it was in computer shopper. nope cant find it online. but lets put it simply..the XI knocked its other rivals into next week! was THAT good. it was the core2duo version by the way. 1440 x 900 resolution or soemthing....x1800 and all. aaaaaaaaaand the hardrives are 2 80gb ones...no a single 160!! so the can be RAIDED but unfortunatly..bigegr size = splashing out! both memory modules are occupied too...as it seems to be the same for all 17" notebooks! ill try to scan an image of the review...but overall..i cant wait for it...but time really is bringing me down...

 

Sounds good dude,be REALLY keen to read that review if you can scan it and post it.
I will be keeping an eye out for it

 

I had a quick look,and they have put off the release date till eary next month now for the core duo 2 version.All the internet places where talking about next week but no

 

ohhh yeah, check this out. but thyre goign like hotcakes from what i can see!

hey man, sorry i havent scanned thata rticle...as i have no way of doign it...jsut started uni and i havent got any form of internet...(no...my ahlls arent connected yet) so it might take a while!

but in the mean time...feast your eyes!
