I'll like 15th the notion of IBM.

Looks aren't the best, but IBM makes the best laptop, Dell rolling in close behind.

Right... and I assume you like to carry that 12lb desktop oops I mean laptop w/ you everywhere?

There are alot of other choices besides Sager... thats why it took 40 some posts before someone mentioned them.

The high end sagers are desktop replacement's to be sure, but I find mine to be perfectly manageable on the road and on my lap lying on my couch which is where I'm typing from now...

Plus, can you find a laptop that is faster than a sager? There arent many, that's for sure.

No, but that is the definition of many an overclocker (note: I did not say all)!

thats not was i was getting at....not to start any trouble but i cant justify poping 300$ into a cooling system to make a 50$ chip do what they sell for 190$ 350$ = 190$??

i can justify poping 300$ into a watercooling system if you have a 3.2 HT or 3200XP...and your trying to hit a region which isnt available to the public

from best notebook to arguing about OCing sorry i didnt mean for this to happen just trying to clairify my previous statement

IBM makes the best Thinkpads in the world and their service is outstanding if I might add. I'm from South Africa (Cape Town) and I must say the service I received from the Cape Town Service Centre is always very professional and speedy.
So for all of you that don't know, now you know.
