Yeah I realized after I posted that there are a few upgradeable models, but, on the whole laptops are not upgradeable. Even the ones you can upgrade can only support a very limited selection of cards because of thermal envelope issues...

First off, the processor. I recommend the 2.33 if you have the cash because the cost difference is pretty reasonable. I don't own a MBP, but I know a lot about them and most of the issues with the orginal MBP have been fixed. The video...

I admire your attitude, but you may be getting in over your head. First off, your 700m runs a Dothan core Pentium M processor which is not compatible with any of the dual core chips (Yonah and Memrom). You could upgrade the memory and...

And how do you know that the picture is real? Perhaps its a copy from another auction or someone's home review, hmm? I don't know how, but I'm sure theres a way to search the net for identical pictures, maybe with checksums or something....

I would say thats a good idea. My HP has broken 7 times!! Thankfully I have a 3 year global business warranty, so they have repaired it for free every time. If I had to pay for it myself, it would have cost me almost as much as the...

Keep one thing in mind, however. Upcoming games will use a lot more CPU power for Physics and AI. A great example is the upcoming RTS Supreme Commander. Early reports say that mid-high end dual core systems work up a good sweat running...
