Best Notebook

[Solitude]

As many you know, Intel is planning on releasing a newer cpu that will support 500 Mhz BUS and Dual Channel Memory. Hence, many notebook vendor are having clearances for their laptop.

I heard the way to go is IBM or Fujitsu, because of reliability and performance. Ideally I wanna less than 1500.

Here, I pose this question, which laptop would you get and why?

Just bought a Dell 500m 1.3ghz P4-M w/ 256mb from their outlet store. Why good price for a Centrino based laptop, light weight about 6lbs, and moderately inexpensive. It is my second Dell laptop and we have 5 Dell laptops at work all work well even the ones that are most mobile.

IBM T series are the best laptops, you might be able to get a very low end config for $1400

Try these guys out

I bought an M37EW from them just a week or two ago. It's awesome. I love the WUXGA screen on it 🙂

P-M 1.8
1 GB DDR
9700 Mobility
60 GB HD
15.4" 1920x1200
Wireless b/g

$1734

You can easily cut that down to $1500 by going down to 512 RAM and maybe a 1.6 GHz proc. It's built well and they're really great to deal with. I think I'm gonna post a mini-review when I get some more time.

Quite overpriced for what it actually is. They screw you with a 4200 rpm hardrive and there are many OEM notebooks for almost half the price with nearly the same specs.

What is the exact model you got last week from IBM and with which CPU /chipset (dothan?). Any link to check full specs. Thanks.

Of course the question is for Silverpig, in case it was not clear.

It's the modern day equivalent of a 1969 Dodge Charger with a 426 Hemi... Big, Hot, a little ugly, and Fast As Hell....

Uh, there's a link in my post to their website... but here's a more specific one:

M37EW

The cpus are dothans. I went 1.8 with a gig of ram and a 60 GB hd. Lady on the phone gave it to me for $1734 instead of $1799 so that ain't too shabby either.

I'm very happy with it. The screen is gorgeous.

Thanks. But I never heard of the company and they should at least clean up the typos.

Show me a laptop with similar size, mobile athlon 64, and vid card for half the price. I want to buy it 🙂
