That's a celeron processor, tho we are talking about p-m.

And yeah, thanks to anandtech, i got a decent dell 1100, p4-2gz, 40gbz, CDRW/DVD, and pretty much loaded for less than 700 about 3 months back.

and I'm with wat ppl said in x1000 forums, some ebayers are just irrational (lack of information)!!!

"Topic Title: Hot!!! Still Good. Compaq x1000 deal...15.4" WSXGA + Centrino + 740mb ram + 64mb radeon 9200.. L@@K!"

Umm... look at the topic... this thread is not for t40s and what not... its for the awesome x1000s. So thread crap elsewhere.

When'd you place your order? I placed mine on 8/5 at costco and it showed shipped two days ago, hoping it'll be here soon :)

Just to mention those who ordered the X1000 and are getting them now if you ordered them with 128MB RAM and a XGA screen you get an upgrade of 256MB RAM and SXGA screen. Got mine a few days ago and love it. Nice size and screen, great deal for it's price abd features!

Got mine today its sweet....

Compaq did alot of free upgrading for me. THey ran out of 128 MB ram sticks so instead of delaying shipments they upgraded them to single 256 sticks. Ive already been to microcenter and got their 512 stick of sodimm pc2100 ram. Running at 740 is nice on a laptop. I also got double upgraded as teh wxga screen was upgraded for free to swxga. I thought I wanted the lower resolution but I think now I like this one better. The deal is dead now unfortunately but alot of people got some sweet laptops. the built in wifi card also has some killerrange btw too. Its also nice having an off button for the wifi on the front too. All things considered this is the great deal on a laptop for which Ive been waiting a year of browsing these forums.

Installing the memory was simple just turn the laptop over unscrew a jewelers size screw and slide it in.

IS everyone sure that putting in the 512 ram from crucial will not affect Compaq's limited warranty??? also, is everyone sure that the 512 ram is compatible with compaq's existing 256 clip???

I am using Crucial 512 mb w/ the stock 256 mb and I have no problems. And adding memory will not void your warranty.

Good Luck to those guys who live in San Francisco, I supposed to get my package yesterday (8/18/03). After I tracked my package from fedex website. It shows my package was delievered to a different address without my authorize. Right now I'm waiting for the fedex explanation. So, my suggestion to those who live in S.F., if you know your package is in the S.F. base, you should arrange the time to pick it up yourself.

I actually got two yesterday, one of them wasn't mine. I gave it back to the fedex guy. Maybe it was yours. Your name Ricky or something like that?

hey guys, i dont know if this actually works but i was thinking it would.

at staples you can configure the x1000 as follows (pretty much the lowest unless u downgrade the screen and the video card).

staples is also offering 100 dollars off any desktop/laptop BTO (coupon code listed when u buy the laptop). Also, you can add the 100 dollar rebate that compaq is offering (on hpshopping.com). finally, there's a 50 off 200 coupon (supposedly doesnt work when u enter it online, but i think staples will discount the 50 off of your order if you call in by phone).

so for the computer i built below:

Presario X1000_ + $100 MIR ( 516030 )
15.4" WVA WUXGA (1920 x 1200) ( 516047 )
802.11b Wireless LAN ( 516066 )
256MB DDR SDRAM (2X128MB) ( 516057 )
Pentium(R) M 1.3GHz ( 516035 )
40 GB 4200 RPM Hard Drive ( 516048 )
DVD/CDRW Combo Drive ( 516053 )
Microsoft(R)Windows(R) XP Home ( 516040 )
8 Cell Lithium Ion Battery ( 516069 )
Microsoft(R) Works/Money ( 516042 )
64MB Mobility Radeon(TM) 9200 ( 516032 )

Subtotal: 1624.00
Instant Off: 100.00
Rebate: 100.00
Coupon: 50.00
Total: 1374.00

If you compare this to when the 10% was active, we have:

Subtotal: 1624.00
10% Coupon+100 Rebate Total: 1362.

of course, if you had the academic discount, you would have had it for: 1280

Finally, if you purchase this off of hpshopping.com with the academic discount, you have it for: 1443

But, the cool thing is, you could configure the base model :

1339
-100 (rebate)
-100 (instant)
-50 (coupon)
-------
1089

versus

1105 during the 10% deal. So this deal is actually better!!!

however if you get the academic discount, 1038, you still win.

Again, this is all dependent on the 50 off 200 coupon, and i havent tried this yet but thought i should post this to see what u guys think. Sorry in advance if this is all bs.
