I honestly would not trade my 1557g for anything the heat has not been an issue as the fan hardly ever runs build quality is fine and nothing on the laptop feels flimsy enough to break off most of the talk about the aopen having poor...

the top of the keyboard feels no heat at all and when on a flat surface the fan does not hardly run and the heat on the bottom is minimal the one area that is the hottest is the area around the hard drive. This is why i dont understand...

The thing is beautiful enough said. I bet that the screen is the same as the compal because i see almost the same hue difference between the bottom and top as rincewind, but the rest of the thing is beautiful. Only complaint is the...

I can't believe how long these things take to get i cant wait to get it. I immediately plan on reformatting and then partitioning the 60 gig hdd and dual booting suse linux on the back end for fun when bored with windows but damn this...

I was about to order from ABS when they got the dothan's in but became frustrated when I saw they ran out of ddr 333 sticks so i bought from ibuypower their service is fine for me and I am very happy with my...

im only worried about performance differences between these 2 notebooks but it looks like neither offers more features or better performance but it doesnt look like the aopen offers a lock and the compal does is this right?

the aopen 1557 was the most talked about notebook before the dothans came out everyone was buying them from abs (zforce f2), IBUYPOWER and internetishop. I guess now that they have their laptops they don't talk as much on here.

Would you suggest buying now from IBUYPOWER or waiting to see if ABS is selling a new line of laptops for the new chips from intel and ati?

aopen 1557 offered with 1.8 and 2 ghz dothan's on IBUYPOWER, also they got rid of the ati 9600 64 meg vid card for the ati 9700 128 meg card. Smart decision in my opinion. Hopefully abs will follow suit
