What they need is PCI-E x800-ish with AMD 64 3800+, 1Gig of ram (expandable to 2 gig, min.), 100 GB 7200rpm HDD, 8x DVD+-R/RW / CDr/rw all nested in a small case with a 15.4" Widescreen... and 3 hrs of batt life.... It should,...

Specs? I am def. interested in your batt. life stats... also, if you have doom3... it'd be awesome if you could post what fps and settings you were able to get (with good quality, obviously)... I'm considering this lappy so any gouge...

If you read your post... it sounds like you answered your own question. Forget the Centrino, and get something more powerful... it's what you want, apparently, anyhow.

I don't want glossy because it would be annoying given my lighting situation here at school... I think i found something close to my 'dream laptop', though... not sure what you guys know/think about the Mayhem G3 but it's got...

Take away the glossy screen, and they got my money, too! (and a bit extra for the 2 or 3 12 cell batteries I'd have to buy for actual portability.. lol). Or just give nu-shield some of my money... either way. Money is ready...

hmm.. anti-glare screen cover that is an interesting point.. I hadn't thought of that - checking into it now... (any recs on where to start looking?) ... good to know I can put mobile and dtr in there... that mobile 3400 is calling...

Where I go to school, or rather... the way the desks are setup here... the glossy screen would burden me more than help. Plus, I do like to use my lappy outdoors, and I think the sunlight would make it un-viewable. Any more info...

Okay fellahs... I did do a Search before hand... but my question remains unanswered... Here is the deal - obviously looking for a new lappy... very interested in the 3790, but I'm not 100% that I want Centrino... I am very interested...

That's what I was thinking mayaman2... I am still debating as to whether or not I'll get the 3790 or not... I *really* would like to see the 9800 in the 3970... if that happened, I'd buy right now.... damn Dell... damn those bastards. ...

Seems like most people are getting the 1.7 vice the 2.0 GHz.... any particular reason why? Is the price difference the only reason? Are the gains of the extra .3 Ghz really that insignificant?
