Killer Notebooks Executioner
www.killernotebooks.com

core 2 duo 2.0ghz
2gb system ram
512mb geforece go 7900GTX
100gb 7200rpm drive
17" 1400 * 900 LCD screen.

This notebook rocks, the chasis is made by Clevo and this same rig can be purchased by many other builders. I recommend checking out killer notebooks as they are well priced and his customer service is second to none.

If you want a machine with a smaller footprint then check out

I know that vista ran smootlhy on the wakazachi when mark installed it, seeing as the kodachi is the same system in smaller case it should work for that too.

I think the big thing for vista is video ram, and 256 is the least you probobly want to run the new interface smoothly. at least 1gb system ram is definetly a must as vista is a diabolic memory monster.

that machine you linked to has a 7600 video card - the one Miro is talking about has a 7900 GTX.

hemeid,

ok, Ive seen the this particular toshiba unit in store and got a chance to check it out.

The screen is amazing, looks very sharp and i believe it uses a dual bulb system to achieve such britness and even light distribution, that dual bulb system might add to the wieght of the machine and decrease battery life. I dont know foreshure but it makes sense. (th4e screen on my executioner is beautifull and looks just as good too me)

the video card on the toshiba is a geforce 7600, while the card on the Executioner is a 7900GTX top of the line.
Side by side a 7900GTX beside a 7600; the 7900GTX fans turn on more, but it allot more powerfull.

Im experimenting with some setting in the nvidia 7900GTX card that will save power and not werk so hard when i am doing tasks that dont need all that power.(make it quiter.) The price of power is heat and noise although i find my comp handles these things very well.

1920x1200 display resolution on the toshiba is insanly high and many people find it too small to read comfterably. I got a 1400 by 900 screen resolution and it rocks, I can still output over 1900 by 1200 with it aswell.
make sure you see this resolution before you buy, make sure its not too high for you.

Also the hd-dvd drive, I dont know if you really want this or not but personally I would not want it. There are very few dvds out there in this format and i dont see how practicall it is to have this type of drive. There is and HDMI connector on this laptop and thats good if you have high def disks and want to output high res to a projector or tv. (Executioner has DVI video output, I beleive that good up to 720P ?) In the executioner the drive is modular and you could add a hd-dvd drive down the road when its more practical.

so. the toshiba machine im sure will run vista, but the executioner has a much better video card, no costly hd-dvd drive, looks a million times better, the executioner comes standard with a 7200RPM hardrive and the toshiba a 5400RPM, this is important and i would not overlook this.

Im sorry this is such a long convoluted post.
Anyone out there disagree with me ? let me have it, we need lots of opinions here people.

it is the first time for me to hear with this company
www.killernotebooks.com
really i do not know which of them i choose
what"s your opinion?

Reply to hemeid

well, it depends on what you are going to be using the machine for
do you want a 17' screen or 15.4 or 14 ?
A system like the Executioner wityh a core 2 duo and 7900GTX is top of the line right now, you may not need all that much power.

the 15.4" Wakizachi runs vista and uses the ATI 1600 card
the 14" kodachi is the same but uses the 7600

the debate over ati 1600 vs. nvidia 7600 seems to be never ending.

I think you need to answer the questions of what am i going to be using this laptop for, are you travelling lots ? do lots of 3d ? answer the simple logistical problems and then we can help you find your match.

i need laptop for games with 17inch

Reply to hemeid

i would go with the executioner then

Reply to frebollin1234

I see

well then, I beleive that a notebook such as the executioner is what you want.

Core 2 duo is 64 bit so thats much more future proof than a core duo.
2gb of ram should keep you happy for a long time.
I highly recommend getting a 7200RPM drive. hardrives are cheap and you do not want to limit the speed of your system do to a slow drive.

If you want to game and game for a while I think the 7900GTX is the way to go. It supports nvidias M*M technology sdo you should be able to upgrade down the road.

the executioner is a clevo chasis;

you can get the this computer from companies such as hypersonic,sager and many more im sure.

I got mine from killer notebooks and i highly recommend it.
from my research this is the best gamming book out there unless you want 19inch screen and dual video cards.

This machine defenelty beats the dell XPS series and I think its the best bang for your buck.

anyone out there disagree ? lets hear it.

this is a 17' laptop from toshiba
http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2 [...] y=BAT-0001

it uses core duo instead of core 2 duo.
I have it with 2gb ram and a 7600 video card and a 1400 * 900 screen

just thought id throw this in to shake things up a little

Something you might want to look into is your desired screen resolution.
Try different configurations at the toshiba site.
I know that some of there notebooks can be configured witha 7900GTX.
I highly recommend the personal touch and service of killernotebooks, but go out there and compare the executioners specs to toshiba and others.

One thing to note is that with KN you are getting a dedicated proffesional building your computer for you, he is also the same person you call for customer support.

the service you get with KN is unlike any other major notebook builder.

Good luck out there. i hope i have been able tyo shed a little light on this topic for you.
