Good Students Laptops
Within the last several months we have seen some major developments in laptop technology that will greatly increase the usefulness of laptops for college students. Both Intel and Nvidia have introduced new products which will improve laptop performance immensely.
New Intel Centrino 2 Platforms
First, Intel has introduced its next generation processors which uses 45nm technology with hafnium-infused circuitry. These new Intel “Montevina” Centrino 2 Platforms offer greater performance and better energy efficiency.
For example, Intel’s new X9100, a 3.06GHz 45nm dual-core mobile processor uses 1066MHz FSB and has 6MB L2 cache – more than enough power or performance for the most demanding tasks students can throw at it.
New Nvidia High-End Graphics Cards
Second, Nvidia has released new mobile cards in its series 9 product line which will greatly impove the performance of laptops.
Nvidia which is considered one of the top Graphics Card makers in the world has announced it is introducing five more “high-end” Cards: GeForce 9700M GT, 9700M GTS, 9800M GTS, 9800M GT and the 9800M GTX.
These cards will have DirectX 10 graphics, Hybrid SLI support and will sport the new PureVideo HD video processing which is compliant with MXM 3.0 Graphics module specs. These are top-notch cards with the 9800M GTX sporting a whopping 128 Processing Cores.
These GPUs will no doubt put some more added punch in the latest gaming laptops but they will also improve the performance level of student laptops especially for those college students who major in computer programming, media or video, graphic design or architecture… we tend to forget, top-level graphics is not always used for gaming. Parents take note!
