Who is 4999 yuan and the struggle within the i3 crazy large inventory of new notebooks

Introduction: i3 has come, the real came to our side, although the arrival of the product market, few, but the prices are relatively fair, basically internal energy Gaoding 4999 yuan. However, there is a little sorry for is that the current listed products are made for the core of the appearance, and no basis for a new platform i3, smaller chipset redesign. Therefore, we expect the lighter, thinner product, short period of time will not be there, and is expected to re-designed based on the i3 platform, new products, the earliest year in March or April in order to concentrate available. Another point to note, in order to better control costs, the first listing of i3 are used is relatively diminished chipset, so the vast majority do not support two graphics!

on performance: i3 Performance evaluation room we have the Pacific Ocean has been given a more detailed test results, interested friends can look at Core i3 only 4K Chutou! macros 4740G starting evaluation. From the next table, we can very clearly see, i3-330M This i3 entry-level processor, its performance has exceeded Intel's P8700, which is the current mainstream market, represents the high-end performance notebook products can be achieved. If the performance by dividing the price of this traditional formula to verify the product cost-effective price, then the i3 undoubtedly has a relatively high price-performance advantage, after all, is now used P8700 processor, priced at 5,500 yuan or more, so I suggested it is quite the recent purchase of notebook users, choose the i3 platform products.

reference to sale Price: 4799 yuan from

HP Intel new platform i3, i5 products have been on January 11 on sale across the country simultaneously, the first for the core products are CQ36, CQ41, and DV3 and DV6, which CQ36 is CQ35 The upgraded version, CQ41 is the upgrade version of CQ40. In the case of the same mold, change the model is mainly to distinguish between new and old platforms, because the current release of 32-nanometer Intel Core Duo processor, the main face of i high-end users, low-end Pentium processors and Celeron processors, is currently No new alternative, a short time there will be in the market for some time. The DV3 and DV6 positioned itself in the high-end products, it will be at the core of this change, and gradually all the switch to a new 32-nanometer processors, so models being the same. When friends buy need attention.

HP products, this new configuration the minimum price of 4799 yuan, from i3 version of the CQ41, the highest price is i5 configuration DV6, priced at 7499 yuan. In addition, now a DV6 purchase of any product, all gifts worth 699 yuan, 3D mention knob. The following is now listed on HP's i3, i5 product model, configuration and price, friends can control reference.

graphics card upgrade: In addition to processor upgrade, the Hewlett-Packard Another big change is that the new graphics card, a mainstream product by the consumer before the NV graphics, switch to the ATi graphics cards, CQ41 use the HD4330 or HD4350 graphics card, while the CQ36, DV3 is the use of more high-end HD4550 graphics card; while the more high-end flagship product DV6 the opposite NV using the latest release of GT320M discrete graphics card. In fact, N card and A cards in recent years, the mainstream areas of product performance is very similar to Hewlett-Packard this card shake-up is likely to cost control from the perspective of the decision, for consumers, the impact on us.

HP CQ36

but more disappointing is that HP still has not released the game in the mainstream areas of products, whether it is CQ36 or CQ41, used alone has displayed, are entry-level products, while the more high-end DV6, also using a more mid-range graphics GT320M its performance with the current mainstream GT 240M will not be too significant. However, there is little need to specify is the sole significant HP products are used in DDR3 memory, and high-end products, have also upgraded the memory to 1GB, than in the past products have greatly improved.

CQ41 appearance of Figure

two graphics features: Upgrade to Core Duo processors, i series, the single noticeable notebook added a new feature two graphics, but needs attention Not all Core i series products, support dual graphics cards. We know that the new 32-nanometer process i3/i5 Core Duo processor, not only the built-in memory controller, but also built-in graphics chips, if the re-configure a separate graphics card, the entire platform, both have two graphics chips for the pairs provided the conditions to switch graphics cards, but the two graphics cards to switch functions, and the machine with the motherboard chipset related, in order to save cost, low-end entry-level products, or take the price-line of products, it is more commonly used shrink chips group, it does not support dual graphics switching, such as HP CQ41 series, whether it is i3 or i5 platform to platform, do not support dual graphics switching.

Edit Comment: HP is currently the Core i3, i5 product the most abundant one vendor, has 13-inch and 14-inch two sizes of several products, the only sorry for, is used by all entry-level independent graphics card, which will allow HP users to perish lose a game, which some users may be used for future replacement of the flow of people, at least for consumer-level products to be so. gt;gt;
