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.

"Bx.Cornwell" wrote in message . .. | anyone have any suggestions on a good AMD64 laptop? brand / model / basic | specs (including video chipset) / comments | | thanks in advance, | Bx.C | | Best bang for the buck out there in A64 laptops right now is the eMachines m6809. If bought from Best Buy, it is $1399 after rebate. A64 3200+ 512MB RAM 80GB 4200RPM HD (slow HD, but easy to change) 4x DVD+/-RW 15.4" WxGA widescreen displayed * AWESOME Radeon mobility 9600 graphics!!!! * I score consistent 1850+ on PCPitstop with this machine, and have scored over 1900 with some minor overclocking. 3dMark2001 scores over 12000. Battery life is only 2-2.5 hours, but it is intended as a desktop replacement. Also good is the m6805, which is identical except for A64 3000+, 60GBHD (also 4200RPM, but some users report getting 5400RPM instead), and the lack of a DVD burner (it has DVD-rom/CDRW combo drive). I chose the m6809 over the m6805 because the price difference was only $150. |

I was referring to the general build quality - clearly Centrino is not AMD64. the Ferarri 3200 looks nice.... but i don't want that to be my only option for AMD64 notebooks / tablets The Ferrari one is pure tart! :-p Ben -- A7N8X FAQ: www.ben.pope.name/a7n8x_faq.html Questions by email will likely be ignored, please use the newsgroups.

Ben just a curious sidenote... are you the same person from alt.comp.periphs.keyboards ? |
