Notebooks with DX10 GPUs - When?

[RanceJustice]

Hey guys, I noticed that a lot of upcoming notebooks are still coming with DX9 GPUs, even those scheduled to be released in a month or two. Personally, I can't see myself buying one without DX10, considering Vista is so close to arrival.

Does anyone know when notebooks (preferably Asus) would start incorporating DX10 graphics? 88xx Nvidia series would probably be best for my uses. Thanks.

well in the last few generations nvidia has been real good about releasing its mobile gpus soon after their desktop counterparts...so i would say very very soon

I have been reading it will be Q1 2007. Xbits had a report the Nvidia is already sampling Direct X 10 parts, but it was not clear if they were low end or on the higher end side of things.

Because nobody has released a DX10 mobile GPU...

Ive heard mid-late jan. Hoping dell will have a G80go/R600m in the e170x line by feb 1, since thats when I want to buy.
