which would you pick? - laptop

[DannyBoy]

Just a quickie..

It's gunna be for work, mild gaming (MMORPG) and the usual stuff.

The options are..

1) Acer Aspire 2001WLCi - Link

2) Novatech Performer XL P4 3.0GHz - Link (The third one on the right hand side)

3) Acer Aspire 1501LCE - Link

Quick feedback on which you would pick.

Anyone who know's any other UK retailers who could help me out - would be much appreciated

Kthx

The last one. The Acer. IIRC, that mobile Geforce is crap.

The Acer Aspire 1501LCE has the best graphics (Radeon 9600) and fastest CPU (A64 3000+), though it needs another 256 - 512 MB RAM to be perfect.

Acer's been around forever and is a decent second-tier company (below IBM, Toshiba, Dell). I've never heard of Novatech.

Read The Friendly Articles on the main AT website, the GF is better than the R 9200 IIRC, but certainly worse than R 9600.

if u can get the AMD 64bit eMachine from Best Buy that would be pretty good deal
if not get the Acer Aspire 1501LCE Notebook - XP Home (LT-007-AC) looks nice
