What are the specs on ATi's 5730? And is it a cutback version of the non-existent desktop counterpart?

Doesn't seem to have been benchmarked yet, but based on the specs it should be a bit better than the 250M.

Pipelines--------------------400
Core Speed-----------------650 MHz
Memory Speed-------------800 MHz
Memory Bus Width--------128 Bit
Memory Type---------------DDR3, GDDR3
Current Consumption-----26 Watt
technology------------------40 nm
DirectX 11, Shader 5.0

The 5xxx mobility series seems to actually be just juiced up 4xxx mobilities (the 4870 and 4870m were both 800 core, but the 5870 is 1600 and the 5870m is 800).

The 5730m is approximately equal to a GTS 250m, or a desktop GT 220 or 4650, and I'd compare it to a desktop 5570.


If I get a mobile chip, it'll be a 5870, thank you very much.

1920 x 1080 on a 16 inch screen. What a terrible idea! Other than that, it looks like a decent gaming rig

HD5800 mobile is supposed to be arround the HD5770 desktop power ..... i wanted to pre-order the MSI GX640 with a I7 720qm, it came with a HD5850 ... but thye made 2 version .. a high end DDR5 and a low end DDR3 .... almost all company who use HD5850 use GDDR3 .. BS .. its not more powerfull than my 9800mGS .. it got the same performance than a GTS160M ... ill not change for this marketin BS .. ppl will see it and will buy it .. and after compain how this new serie sux .... its sad

Wouldn't it make more sense to spare on CPU and invest into a better graphic card instead???

My old Dell Inspiron 9400 has a subwoofer and it's pretty damn nice. The quality of the sound um sounds? much better when you have proper bass.

The res is too high at that size I have a MSI with 9800M and 1680x1050 1920x1080 is too agressive at with .4" larger screen. At my res with the crappy (buggy) GPU it games fine.

Atleast 5870 crossfire for me, I don't mind a 20 minute battery

hmmm...... its ohk

bottom line: how much does this MSI Laptop cost?

 

[jerreece]

I like the looks and appeal of this laptop. I like the specs over all too! For someone who'd love to have a decent laptop that can "game", without spending a crap load of money.

I'm interested in seeing how much they'll be asking for this one.

I bet it will be in the range of 1,500. I would suggest that anyone looking for a gamer look at the new Asus G series models they just released. i7 and better graphics than this at or under 1,500.

a few issues with this machine off the bat: first is the screen, a TFT LCD back lit? come on, this is 2010. they need to include a LED LCD back lit screen for lower weight and battery consumption. second, which i5 processor? I hope it's not the crappy 400 series mobile i5 that does not have the AES instructions. third, draft n wireless? again this is 2010 and the N standard has been standard since last year. lastly, quit advertising something that has a "subwoofer" if it can not produce any noise in the 20-200Hz audible range. if it is higher than 200Hz, then it's a powered midrange speaker. back in the day, the smallest feasible real subwoofer was around 8" due to the physical constraints needed for such harmonics. who knows maybe they cracked some new material that can vibrate on the same frequencies that they don't need to be made any larger.
