man, i'm wantin' a cheap laptop, but this looks like a huge pos!

of course, unlike the $650 laptop deal i was looking at at best buy, this has no rebates to hassle with. hmm, tempting ...
 
That's the same ECS-built laptop Fry's/Outpost was selling. It's decent except for the horrible battery life. I believe the 4 cell battery gives about 40 minues of use.

IMHO anything made by ECS is not worth buying at any price. The headache that would come with it isn't worth the savings.

good thing no one cares about your opinion. 😀
 
All I can remember the old processors referred to was either their core designation (Thunderbird, Palomino) or by the packaging (Slot A, Socket A). I don't know that I can ever recall anybody referring to an Athlon 4.
