Laptop revolution

[Cleric xtx]

Anyone fancy donating to me for a new laptop? This is the one I have in mind, like most other people after reading it...

 

Atomchip Corp

 

This laptop has revolutionised the computing world in a way that puts gamers to shame. Details are included on the webpage but basically it has a processing speed equivalent to a 6.8GHz processor with 1TB of RAM and 2TB of hard disk space.

 

I wonder what the graphics are like...

Seriously, who would spend $15, 000 on a computer? It's impressive but you could put a deposit on a house with that sort of money...

If you put it into perspective you can see why it costs so much.

Currently, a state-of-the-art laptop would be around £2000 for 3Ghz with 1GB RAM and a 100GB harddrive. So: (Processor x 2) + (RAM x 1024) + (HD x 204) = £8000

I don't know how much 500MB ram and 20GB disk space would affect the cost, but the one I'm getting for £800 has a 3Ghz processor, decent (not the best, but decent) graphics card, 500MB ram and 80GB disk space.

You mean 512MB?

When I said 3GHz, I was referring to the Intel Centrino, which has 2MB Cache; the Centrino is an expensive processor. Here's an example

My laptop cost £700 and is an AMD 64 3400 (equivalent to a 3.4GHz processor) with 128MB graphics and 512MB RAM and a 60GB hd.
