Does anyone know them? I can't access nVidia's site for some reason, and have a pretty nice deal on a 9400 waiting thanks to a Dell email. Anyways, are they somewhat similar to the desktop 7800GS, or significantly different? Also, what...

Maybe they want to use a 64-bit OS and have the ability to do so in the future? chugga chugga chugga CHOO CHOO! Here's the logic train! And if this is even somewhat affordable, I will buy it in a heartbeat.

WOW. That is one huge laptop. I agree, though, I think that 15.4" WSXGA+ is the limit for me. Anything else, and it just isn't practical. You know what would own though? Something the size of a Sony T370P, but with a Turion and a...

I know what you mean, dirk. That's why I've got my 4x5 Wacom Graphire. Seriously, though, I believe that laptops for students, especially following a plan like CollegeStudent stated (maybe with slightly more liberal guidelines, though)...

Hey, don't knock all the kids just because of the few d!ckheads out there. However, it's true that said phalli are pretty destructive. Last year, a few 7th graders started hurling a number of computers out of windows, not to mention...

Also, from what I've heard, the PB gets a bit hotter than the 9300. Make sure to consider that if you use your laptop as an actual "lap"top a lot.

The 9300 doesn't have the best mobile GPU on the market. And saying the P-M has a lot of raw CPU power is pretty funny. It keeps up the same way the G4 does: better management and use of clock cycles. It just does it better. And the...

Again, it depends on what you're doing. From the testimonials here and from what i've heard in the past, the PowerPC CPUs tend to fare pretty well with stuff like PS because of their great multithreading abilities. In raw power, though,...

Well, if you ask me, I think that, unless you run a lot of background apps, go for the Inspiron (IIRC, the G4 has a good multithreading architecture, but that might just be the G5). You'll appreciate the extra screen space, trust me. The...
