I already ordered the Compaq 2100z w/ these specs.
- ATHLON XP-M 2400+ (Barton core)
- ATI Mobility Radeon 7000
- LCD 14.1 TFT XGA.
- 128 MB DDR SDRAM.
- 20 GB Hard Drive.
- 24x CDROM Drive.
- Built in 56K Modem&10/100 LAN.
- 54g wireless
$708 after $100MIR
But it's been two weeks and they haven't even shipped yet. :| But I can return it when it arrives at no cost to me. Also been hearing some minor issues such a high pitched noise, and the reliability/quaility is unknown.
Now IBM egay has the following... IBM R32
- Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor - M - 1.80GHz
- 256MB
- Hard Drive 30GB
- Display 14.1" TFT 1024x768
- Ethernet/Modem Ethernet & Modem Included
- Media Device DVD-ROM
- 16MB ATI Mobility RADEON 7000
- ~$900
So 10 more gigs, a DVD Rom (dont really need it), and 128MB more ram (I'm adding 256mb no matter which laptop) but no built in wireless. So I'd have to buy a wifi card and $200 more also, but IBM is supposed to be the best of the best for laptops. It's about 1-1.5 lbs lighter also!
Is it worth it? Should I got for the IBM? Or just stick w/ the better value?
