Sandybridge Laptops

Brumboy · 3 Mar 2011 at 16:05

Is there any information on when the Sandybridge Mobile processors will be out for laptops? I've only seen Apple bring out laptops with the new processors but can't find any information about other companies like HP/Dell/Acer/Advent etc

Sony are listing them too.

The C series and Z (might be S) are available to order. They also have the 6 series ATI cards.

Kobalt have them available to order for "mid march"

Id be interested to know when OC'ers think they will have some

Remember intel had a small chip set problem that delayed the lappys

Dell have some of there ranges with the new SB chips ready for order, not sure lead time though.

Yeah, there is a chipset problem which can affect the sata to deteriorate over time iirc on certain laptops?

I think we will be seeing them pop up around early April, I've been in touch with MYSN and they have told me they recieve their new batch on the 16th March and more again 1st April.

Basically Sandybridge already released in January, but as mentioned Intel discovered the issue with thier motherboards; and thus most of the manufacturers recalled thier laptops until the new boards were issues.

As I understand laptops with fixed/replaced mobos should be out there later on this month and early next month from most of the big manufacturers.
