Another call to vendor confirms that there is no HDMI or DVI port and I figure it sure would be nice to hook the notebook to the HDTV at some point via HDMI with one cable rather than multiple audio and video cables. The sales guy...

I called a company advertised in the back of the current issue of the magazine and found out that they build from Asus parts. They have a S96S that I could configure with a T7500, 1 x 2G Mushkin RAM, 160 HD, DVD-RW, webcam, bluetooth,...

I've haven't checked out Sager before. It looks like I could configure the 2090 with the same options of a T7500 processor, 8600M GT (maybe not with DDR3 that comes on the G1S), 2G of RAM, 160HD, etc. for between $200 - $300 less. ...

I've gone back and forth between Asus A8, F3, Acer something, then Dell Inspiron 1520 and now I'm leaning toward a G1S for a few hundred more than the Dell, but in stock rather than a long wait for the Dell. Plus the few hundred more...

Yeah, I know, but I'd be replacing a 533MHz G4 Mac. So it's going to feel speedy even with Vista. I use it to browse and read email while I'm watching tv. A new computer in the living room will open up the possibilities of doing a...

I am following two different dell forums. One here at notebookforums.com and another at another similar site. And I am getting confused as to where I am reading and posting. But somewhere I've read that there are actually two different...

I have very little experience buying laptops (except for my wife's Mac Powerbook bought 6 years ago) and know nothing about them except what I am learning here... But it seems to me that the most significant reason for the Vostro is so...

I called Dell this morning and talked to someone. He put together the same system for me and it actually came to about $100 more than what I was seeing online. So he agree'd it makes more sense to buy this one online, no hard sell or...

I have good credit. So I guess I could start a Dell credit card to get the $150 discount but I typically avoid getting new credit cars as I figure it opens it up for more chances for criminals to rip me off. Maybe I'll take my chances....
