Wrong forum, buddy.

First I suggest you research yourself and tell us your choices.

What is the right forum? I kinda had the same question, and was browsing through to find the answer, but there were only two pages of topics in this forum....is it new or something?

compaq x1000 looks very good for people who want a nice system at a low price

Don't artificially limit yourself to a "Centrino". And realize that "Centrino" isn't a processor, it's just a system with a Pentium-M, a particular chipset, and Intel's brand of 802.11b.

I got a Sharp Actius discontinued at Fry's for $1199. It has cdrw/dvd, 256MB memory, Centrino 1.13, and 40GB hard disk. Great buy for the money, especially since it's very portable. If you are looking for more power, I would suggest an IBM if you can afford one.

Sorry Wyvrn, that's a pentium 3 M. Not a centrino. But it's still a good laptop.
