    Any one know if MSI is planning a AMD based notebook with mainstream or better Nvidia graphics? (Sure its a somewhat saturated market but....)

    I have been searching with a notebook with similar specs for a while now (Mobile AMD with 6600 or better) and have come to the conclusion that it just doesn't exist.

    If you don't mind having a non mobile processor, ASUS has a pretty sweet AMD64 with NVIDIA notebook.

    i doubt youll find any turion or amd mobile based notebooks with a nvidia card in the near future, simply because the only decent motherboards for these processors are ATI, Intel based notebooks can use them because they run intel motherboards. however if you really want nvidia, consider a pentium M or core duo, im no intel fan either, but these actually do game as well as comparably clocked AMD's (although not comparably priced, in the end buy whichever gets you what you most want, for the least money)

    nVidia just announced their new AMD notebook chipset today at CeBIT. We probably won't see many notebooks using it until AMD's new socket design is ready, probably with the Turion X2's in early May?

    All I want is a 17" Turion X2 with GeForce 7600 Go. A higher-end GeForce might be nice but I doubt I'd want the extra weight to power and cool the thing.
