Overall an awesome notebook! My only complaints would be: 1.) The screen is only average and has mediocre viewing angles. 2.) My Hitachi 5k80 80GB drive makes clicking noises, which aren't too bad, but they stand out because the...

That's a "feature" of hitachi drives related to power savings. I think that the drive is just simply parking and unparking its heads too often. My 80GB 5k80 does the same thing. see this thread or search on google for more...

Yeah, this seems to be to be a common issue with certain drives. Actually, it is a power saving feature. To save power and to help prevent hard disk damage, the heads are periodically parked. Unfortunately, usually the heads park very...

Let's just face the fact that the low clocked 9700 GPU on the CL56 is not really a speed demon. Don't get me wrong, I have a CL56, and I really like the notebook, but you have to remember that it is just a notebook. If you are used to...

airwick and a13antichrist, You are both wrong. As snorre said, the Pentium-M is based on the venerable P6 architecture, dating back to the original Pentium Pro. Although, as I implied in my previous post, this is not at all a bad...

The "ancient" technology behind the Pentium M is just about matching the Athlon64 and easily trouncing the P4 in clock for clock performance. Modernized PIII technology is a very good thing for the mobile market.

It seems like either false advertising or simple ignorance to me. * The 855PM Chipset only supports AGP 4X Max (1.06 GB/s). * AFAIK, there is no such thing as a 9700 pro turbo. Ask them about what the core/memory clockspeeds are. The...
