Looking for a new laptop...

Looking for a place to config off brand laptops liek acer or sager or whatever. Having trouble finding one with exactly what I want in it.

I want a 1.8-2.0 Pentium M. Battery life is very important. Looking for 1gig ram and the 60gig 7200rpm hdd. It is mostly for work, but I do like to game a pretty fair amount, so I'm lookign for at LEAST a Radeon 9600, but a 9700+ would be great. I've got about $2500 to spend.

Right now i have a T30 and I'm pretty happy with it. I hate the <2 hours batter life, and the crappy video card. I have looked at the T42's and I like them, but they barly meet my Video card Req's and for that price range I can barly seem to get the 1.8 cpu. Almost seems a waste when for the same money I can go from the 1.8 to a 2.0, and upgrade the video from a 64mb 9600, to a 128mb 9700. In fact it comes out $1-200 cheaper.
 
I just ordered a sager with the exact specs you noted for $2300. I'll let you know how it goes 🙂

P-M 1.7
1024 ram
60gig 7200 rpmer
radeon 9700 128meg
(best feature) 15.4 inch WUXGA screen
 
Also, the 2.0 is available for like 300 more, but you can shave another 100 off for a cheaper screen, but the WUXGA is reeeeel purdy... I'd recommend it.
 
just saw your post. .My boss won't let me get one, but they have some configurable sagers, clevo, chembooks at discountlaptops.com also 1toppc.com
