Hi! I am interested in buying the Enigma laptop and also aware there is a refresh due in March/April... In one of the threads someone stated that design will be the same except for the GPU, which will be GT540M... I went to compare the specs of that card and ATI 5650... It is obvious that the new card is better performance wise, but I noticed it also has higher power consumption (35 watts), while 5650 is really cool card with 19 Watts top consumption...
Logical conclusion would be that higher temperatures will characterize the new Enigma. If that is really the case, I would like to know until when are PCSPECIALISTS going to have Enigma II in stock?
Is the Optimus line also going to have new/updated models, or will it only feature new processors?

I'd say we probably have enough stock to cover the next 4 - 6 weeks which should hopefully take us to the launch of the Enigma III. This is a rough guess going off previous weekly sales so don't take this as a guarantee.

There will be a couple of new Optimus Laptops being launched - Optimus II & Optimus SE. They will both support the new Intel Sandy Bridge CPUs, the Optimus II will have the GT540M & the Optimus SE will have an integrated Graphic Chip.

The new chassis will have been designed with the extra power consumption & increased temperatures in mind, there will be sufficient cooling so this you don't need to worry about this.

Just to confirm, the Enigma III will have a new chassis design and will be more than capable of dissipating any extra heat generated from more powerful graphics. :)
