nonfinite Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I'm in the market for a new notebook. The asus M70Sa is looking very nice... http://usa.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=5&...amp;modelmenu=2 My question is, is there support for this kind of high end laptop? Will I be able to find compatible hardware on the higher end of the scale? The osx86 wiki has some asus products listed as compatible, but nothing nearly as powerful as what I want.

Synaesthesia Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 That notebook has a problem : the ATI HD3650 - it's not a supported card. Everything else would have been fine. There are indeed working notebooks in your pricerange. I would say the Dell XPS M1530. It's reported as working perfectly, pretty much, with the Dell wireless and all.

It's reported as working perfectly, pretty much, with the Dell wireless and all. 256MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8600M GT Lacking a bit in the graphics department, otherwise that would have been a good candidate. Also, hoping to find a 17" solution. Let's just toss that $1500 number out the window, shall we? Anything under or near $2,000?

JaE-V Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Alienware M17, M17x, M9750. Even an M1730. *no SLI support in either*. Or hell just buy a macbook pro if your lurking around that price range.

I'm too old to be taking something like that to work. =) Except perhaps this one.... http://www.alienware.com/products/area-51-...ode=SKU-DEFAULT I'm incapable of purchasing a macbook pro when I can spend just as much (or less) money getting a PC with better specs.

nonfinite Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 What about this? http://shopping.msn.com/prices/asus-g70s-a...-2-6-ghz-17-tft Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/139032-1500-1tb-2hd-1024mb-graphics-meganotebook-possible/#findComment-984456 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaE-V Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 What about this? http://shopping.msn.com/prices/asus-g70s-a...-2-6-ghz-17-tft Thats an awesome machine lol, SLI's gonna give you problems. Big time. If you could get a single GPU configuration (like an 9800GTm or an 8800GTXm) i'd say go for it.
