It all depends on Socket type, doesn't it? Whatever the highest processor that works with Socket 478, M, P should work, though the FSB might hold further limitations. Checking Wiki, Celerons at 400MHZ are limited to the older 4 and 6...

If you can, try to type, click, etc. with an external keyboard and mouse. I really don't see how this would be a driver or software issue since mouse + kb are so simple. Sounds like your keyboard and touchpad may need to be replaced due...

Hmm, "alternative energy sources or methods", huh? Are you thinking about plugging your laptop into a solar panel or hooking it up to a bike, lol? Fact of the matter is, while current Li-Ion batteries last for quite some...

1. Most likely a Core Duo; not all E1705s come with C2Ds since they are older. Are C2Ds even sold at 1.6ghz? 2. Depending on the mobo socket, M is it?, you'll be able to upgrade to some of the 5 series and maybe a 7 series C2D, but not...

Depending on what you do, 0.2GHZ is not going to make any noticeable difference and is certainly not worth the extra $300. The Asus comes with a GDDR3 8600GT vs. a DDR2 8600GT in the Dell. Plus, I've heard the Asus' battery life isn't...

Sweet looking laptops. Too bad Alienware overcharges for their brand name.

Congrats on the purchase. I bought a IFL90 from Xotic; amen to great service from Justin and great value. The WSXGA+1680x1050 is beautiful, but I've heard there's a 1440x900 available now. Either way, it's a great laptop. Again,...

I was actually looking at Ibuypower.com too cuz of their prices for a laptop for college, but they're not that great on www.resellerratings.com. Seems like the horror stories are pretty bad. It's your call really if you think the price...
