I was wondering whether anyone knew whether the aluminum briefcase laptop cases that Falcon ships with its laptops were available elsewhere. I'm assuming that they're made by a third party, and was hoping that I could acquire one seperately when I finally pull the trigger on my laptop buy (If I...

I was wondering when this part was going to see more widespread distribution. I'm thinking of waiting to buy a new laptop until I can get a decently priced machine with this part - the Dells that have it are way too expensive - but I'm interested in how long I'd have to wait. I'm primarily...

I was looking at the Sagers - they look quite nice. The Sagers and the Compals actually seem more or less identical spec/pricewise. Right now though, I'm leaning towards a Twinhead N15RB. I've read a review or two of it, and the major upside on the Twinhead is that it's built to take a good...

That's true... I've seen discountlaptops mentioned a bit, so I assumed it was at least worth looking into. I'm actually now thinking of getting the Twinhead machine and forgoing the accidental damage warranty - It's billed as being a "semi-rugged" machine. For the bits you say tend to be...

I've also been looking at this laptop: http://www.powernotebooks.com/configure.php?special=26 This is a rebadged Clevo, I believe. The problem here is that I just don't know much about the manufacturer/retailer, and they don't offer an accidental damage warranty. The specs and the price...

I've been looking around all day, and am having trouble finding a laptop that meets my needs. My basic problem is that I want something generally relatively value-oriented, with the sole exception of the video card - and that doesn't seem to be a demographic that most of the major manufacturers...
