of course. I will immediately send my laptop back if it has dead pixels right in middle. I guess I could live with a black pixle somewhere in the edge of the display, else it’s crappy. especially if it’s a 2000€ notebook. ---

wow 3+ hours of battery time :sure: an athlon 64 is far away from ideal for a notebook. ---

Someone said something about the Vaio A series. My sister has one and it is pretty nice. The screen is _excellent_, and it seems pretty powerful in most areas. Pentium M processors aren’t very fast though. ---

I don’t like sony computer’s very much, they are high priced, and I haven’t seen very good reviews of the service 😉 but if it works for you it may work 😃 ---

> Pentium M processors aren’t very fast though. from chip (german computer mag): the pentium-M (at least the 755 (2ghz centrino dothan)) is now on the same level of performance as a pentium-4-processor for desktops yeah, don’t really like sony too. their stuff only matches other sony stuff (i.e.: headset will only go with sony walkman) accessories are expensive, and I’ve heard more complaints about sony laptops than about other top manufactorers (although I guess that’s moaning on a very high level) ---

They may have a lower number/clockspeed associated with them, but they are very efficient - hence them using less power and producing less heat 🙂 ---

well, i just bought a new lappy, an LG LS50-5. anyways, its a Centrino, Pentium M 1.6GHz, and its pretty fast (apparently, a 1.6 M is equal to a 3.2GHz P4). I would strongly reccommend AGAINST getting a desktop CPU in a laptop (eg. Celeron, P4). They run hot, and absolutely kill the battery. A Celeron 2.8 running on an 8-cell battery with realistic usage will last no more than 1 hour. My Pentium M 1.6 running on a 6-cell battery lasts 3.5-4 hours while ive got MSN, iTunes, Photoshop and a host of other stuff runnning… I think laptops **need** mobile processors… 😛 oh, and the centrino’s come with WiFi as standard. Although i bought from a local retail outlet, in retrospect, i should have bought online from Dell. they seem to be much cheaper. …actually, come to think of it, i could have bought a nice 12" G4 iBook with all the extras for less than what i spent on my current lappy… ☹ oh well… oh, btw: ---
