Nice find!!!  Looks like Dell will  be suking hind tete to HP/Compaq  LOL

I wonder if all things considered; Dells decline in tech support, lower quality products, and now beat to the punch by thier slowest competition... is this the begining of a change of the guards? 

Read the fixes for the file @ this link

http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/deskpro/us/download/19001.html

notice it says US as in support/files/deskpro/us... looks like it will be here soon.

But............I think the price of compaq nw 8000 would be double the price of dell 8600.....don't you think so??

I dont understand how it's possible that the new NC8000 is going to be released very soon

 and there is almost no information on it all over the internet and even not in hp official web site.

 if someone have any idea when this notebooks will be released please post it as soon as possible because otherwise

I will have to be satisfied with buying the new dell inspiron 8600 .

Is it true that the nc8000 has two media bays?

 

NC8000 and NC6000 both have ATI M10

your right   , http://www.ldlc.fr/fiche/PB00019210.html

3400$ u.s.  !

remember , performance do have a price tag  , so i  will  definitively  gonna try my i8600 to save $$ 

 

Almost the same price as a similarly configured i8600 when they were released in europe, once it hits the US prices will be in line.

But performance wont!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

doubt u guys will ever see the 9600 with Centrino as though the vid card has a power consumption rating not compliant with a PM processor.

Obviously you "don red to wel" follow some of the links in this thread.

 

 

That HP looks sweet! It's nearly everything one can ask for within a reasonable weight (and hopefully price too). It has every port imaginable, smartcard reader, great video card, tri-mode wireless capability, and great screen resolutions. I have not been a fan of HP yet but this is likely the only laptop comparable to the Apple 17" G4 1.33Ghz. The nc8000 appears to be going headon with the I8600 and D800.

When will the HP be available in U$? Still no word if i8600 will have Radeon9600?

This is also a very nice laptop...

Looking through ATI's website, only 3 manufactures are using the Pro 9600...Eurocom, Hypersonic and Voodoo. It's a pretty small selection to choose from.
