Pentium-M Notebook Put To The Test

Posted by Hemos on from the testing-it-hard dept.

BedivereW writes "Tom's Hardware has an interesting review of the first Intel Pentium-M (codenamed Banias) notebook. There are a few pieces of information missing, like heat production, but on the whole it is a good review. Intel appears to be moving in the correct direction." I'm looking forward to seeing more info on this one - seems to be the x86 response to the PowerBook series.

    Until Intel delivers a 17 inch notebook with an OS that doesn't suck, Apple still's looking good.

    I can't wait for fuel cells to deliver and amps vs. mips becomes less of an issue.

    As we slide further towards an unwanted and potentially disastrous war, It's heartening to see that there might be some common ground between the US and Iraq: We both have a flagrant disregard for international treaties.

    Keep playing catchup?

    Does that taste like ketchup? Anyway, I hope you keep playing catch-up in the performance department as well.

    Until I see a notebook with a Itanium or Xeon processor and a Quadro FX graphics chip, this ain't friggin good enough.

    Until I see a notebook with a x86-64 or dual Athlon processors and a Quadro FX graphics chip, this ain't ***ing good enough.

    And oh, if it has a f**king WinModem, that ain't good enough either.

    And it can't cost more than a 20 (Pentium II based) node Linux cluster
