          Looks pretty good if you intend on using as a laptop and moving around a fair bit...I got a Toshiba p4 3.02GHZ HT laptop with a 17" screen but i use it as a desktop machine and dont move it much

            looks cool dude
            SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

                  Centrino is for pussies.


                  JK ;)

                  I was going to buy one myself but I went 64bit. Now if I could just quiet down these 2 loud fans I would be 100% happy that I didn't buy the centrino.
                  I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...

                  Webair, bitches.

                    really? I have heard nothing but great things for the centrino

                    besides, I want my laptop for only a "by the pool" and traveling reason, my desktop is just fine, don't need a replacement

                                            no doubt, all I could ask for more is a better processor and graph card, but they usually dont include elite graph cards with centrinos

                                            it's perfect for me "by the pool" and travel needs

                                                        Don't misunderstand what I said, I would have purchased that computer if I didn't go with the 64mb laptop. Centrinos are pretty darn efficient cpu's
                                                        I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...

                                                                        centrino are for pimps not for pussies, my battery lasta 3.5 hours, show me an athlon that lasts more than 1.5.

                                                                        also centrino @1.5 is like a p4 @2.6 because it has 1mb cache... I I can tell it's way faster tha my desktop , [email protected].

                                                                                                    centrino 1.4 compares to a P4 2.6-2.8 because of the cache and bus speed difference

                                                                                                    the highest centrino currently available is (I THINK) 1.7ghz(which would compare to a P4 3-3.4ghz)

                                                                                                    the reason I got a 1.4 was because this was an Ebay auction and I couldnt really choose

                                                                                                    also centrinos have MUCH improved battery consumption (they consume much less = more battery life) and awesome wireless connectivity!
