Sub $1200 AMD???

[jeepnut24]

Ive been an AMD fan for a while, and my last laptop was an AMD. Dell screwed me over on a ship date and a back order so Im thinking about going elsewhere. Something AMD or if the extra money is worth it 64Bit AMD. Who makes a quality AMD laptop?

I like my Compaq v2000z with

AMD Turion 64 ML-28 (1.6GHz/512KB L2 Cache)
Windows XP Home Edition with SP2
14.0 WXGA BrightView Widescreen
256MB DDR SDRAM Added a 512MB stick for 768 total
40 GB 4200 RPM Hard Drive
8X DVD Drive
ATI RADEON(R) XPRESS 200M(128MB shared)
54g Integ. Broadcom 802.11b/g SpeedBoster WLAN & Bluetooth
6-in-1 card reader, IEEE 1394 port and an expansion port for the HP xb2000 Notebook Expansion Base and
12 Cell Lithium Ion Battery

Only thing I would have ordered differently would be to upgrade to the 60 GB 5400 RPM Hard Drive for the speed.

They go on sale every other week at Staples, Office Depot or Office Max starting at $499 configure to order. Current Deals at
Staples
Office Depot
Circuit City

It takes about two weeks to build and ship from China if the above deals are not on the shelves.
