centrino!

Ok I'll get that on friday it's like a 1.6ghz Centrino Sony Laptop

Dothan all the way, unless you have cash for these new 2.13GHz mobile intels.
If I can suggest somthing, check what Dell offers - usually they offer really nice lappies with better components (especially great screens) and better price, than competition.

I will never buy from dell hp or compaq.

Dell makes great laptops....

[squasher]

IMHO thats kinda silly. You might not like them, but they do make some good stuff. I don't like tt but the smart fan 2 is good enough for me to buy. Why not get the best you can for your money? Anything else seems dumb to me.
sorry if I came off harsh
edit: DANG YOU JACK222!!!
hey that rhymes!

A friend had a brand new desktop computer and it had cables and crap blocking the cpu and crashing it. I mean at least look to see if anything is blocking it.

Personally I won't buy and PC that isn't "decide which parts to get, buy them and assemble", but lappies are different. My roommate had one and it was simly awesome - the best lappie I've seen - with nice Dothan, 1920x1200 panoramic 15,4" screen with nice response and colors and view angle... Games were playable + tons of features for great price. Now you can get Dell lappy even with 6800U onboard and pretty accetable price.
I'm no Dell nazi, but in terms of mobile computers, they simply rock.

[Steveo989]

I may change my mind but their desktops suck, plain and simple.

Anyone know if Dells mobo's have a switch to select 400/533mhz fsb switch to get a 400mhz fsb cpu overclocked a lil bit.
