Aris Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 I saw the asus C90 whitebook, but it only has a type II MXM slot. anyone know of somthing like that with a type III MXM slot? Id like to build a complete notebook from the ground up thats completely upgradable. Something on either a Merom or new Santa Rosa CPU. 15.4" or 17" LCD, either is fine. Anyone know of anything like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know of anything like that? Asus Z84. And the new 17" from MSI but I'm not sure that will be available as barebones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice-Tea Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Well, keep in mind "upgrading to any type" may be a bit more complicated, but other than that it would seem like a good deal. But keep in mind you still need an OS and all this says little about warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
