Ben Pope said:Agreed. A mate has just bought a 2GHz Centrino from then and it looks
alright... compared to some other brands it was a good price too.
centrino isn't amd64...
the Ferarri 3200 looks nice.... but i don't want that to be my only option
for AMD64 notebooks / tablets

Ben Pope said:Well done.
I was referring to the general build quality - clearly Centrino is not
AMD64.
The Ferrari one is pure tart!

I almost bought that one, but it has a far inferior video card than my m6809
and was more expensive configured similarly.

be good... but then again, everyone's doing a little silver these days...
perhaps the route of the Nintendo Gameboy Advance SP line? a cobalt blue
(metallic) would be nice... or heck.. give me a metallic green even...
...guess i'll keep lookin around...
just a curious sidenote... are you the same person from
alt.comp.periphs.keyboards ?
What about the Compaq Presario R3000Z series? They are similarly|

| yah, i believe i saw your e-machine at BestBuy the other day.... i didn't
| look too closely at the amd64 laptops when i went over there though....
just
| noticed that out of the entire back wall that they had filled end to end
| with laptops, i only saw two Athlon64's....
|
| i guess i have a few options right now...
|

I think they only carry a total of three. The m6809, m6805, and a Compaq
very very similar to the zv5000z.

| What about the Compaq Presario R3000Z series? They are similarly

Exactly why I didn't buy one. The GeForce MX 440 video is horrible (let
alone the 420) in comparison to the Radeon 9600. Of course if you will be
using no 3d apps, that won't be an issue. The eMachines also has the 15.4
inch widescreen. Configured the same (except of course the video), the
compaq is $120 cheaper before rebates. The Radeon 9600 was well worth that
$120 to me, but of course I put the 3d accelerator to use. After rebate
(m6809 purchased from Best Buy), the eMachines is $100 less, so I actually
got better video for less (after 6-8 weeks lol).

be tart. You could have chrome bits too
Yep.
You should have noticed from the sig

trip. They can't be customized straight from them. In fact, you can't even
buy straight from them. Using the buy link on their site directs you to
either J&R Music World or Best Buy. I would guess they don't customize
because the machines are actually fully built by Arima.
