Second section updated today! The gaming laptop section has just been updated, including options sporting the all-new Nvidia GeForce GTX 480M.
There are interesting things happening at Computex, but I don’t have the time to write about them, only to retweet a few. Follow me on Twitter!
Updating is going at a good pace: here you have the updated version of the basic laptop section.
Just for clarification, I’m putting under the “basic laptop” sections standard-size laptops that are more expensive than cheap laptops, but less than multimedia, professional and gaming laptops. Enjoy!

I have to admit that I have neglected the English version of towards the optimal laptop. That’s because it needs twice the time to mantain than the Catalan and Spanish versions combined, but gives 1/10th of the income. But I have decided to update all laptop sections in the English (US/UK) version, so they are more similar to the Catalan and Spanish versions.
The first section to be updated is the light laptops one. I hope you find it useful! I hope to finish updating the rest in the next 2 weeks.

We don’t have any benchmarks yet, but it seems the last mobile graphics card from Nvidia, the Fermi-based Geforce GTX 480M, is going to be the fastest graphics card for laptops in the market (at least for a while). Do you want it in your next gaming laptop? You can pre-order a Sager NP9280 (based on Clevo D900F) at Xotic PC. It’s going to cost you 550 USD MORE than the GTX 285M and ETA is mid-June. Did you expect something cheaper? Really?
Update: do you want it in SLI? So you have to wait for the new monster from Clevo, the X7200!
During the week I was at Chicago without my laptop (!!!) there were some interesting news:
109 new laptops with AMD’s latest platform
The 2010 platform for notebooks has better energy efficiency and includes quad-core Phenom II processors and low voltage Neo processors. In addition the integrated graphics Mobility Radeon HD 4250 are a good improvement over the older HD 3200, but still far from low-end dedicated cards such as the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 or Nvidia GeForce 310M. This platform has been embraced by many notebook manufacturers and is being used in 109 new laptops, such as the Dell Inspiron M301z and many Pavilion laptops from HP.
More ATI graphics in Alienware notebooks
It is not yet clear if the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 CrossFireX is actually available for the M17x or not (until now most orders have been cancelled by Dell), but now the M15x is available with the HD 5730 and 5850 in addition to the older Nvidia options. Have a look to the graphics cards comparison.
Apple Macbook updated
The plastic Macbook has been updated with the same hardware than the 13-inch Macbook pro blanco, but the price has gone up too, so it’s now much closer to the aluminium model.
