I'd go with the X1000. I just did. It's damn near perfect. Light (relatively), thin easy to work on. the placement of some of it's connections is slightly annoying but easily dismissable for the deal you get with this laptop.

Good review. Thanks.

Anyone?

I was alos wondering if you guys know anything about ABS computers? www.abspc.com I found out about them from an advertisement on C/Net while researching other laptops. Anyone have experience with them as a company or with their...

I've been looking at the HP ZT3010US laptop. I've seen it on sale for ~$1500 at Best Buy and Circuit City. So now that It's guaranteed that I'll be getting a laptop for Christmas, it's time to make a choice. The only knock I've heard...

Im a student. I'll be running simulations (Matlab and LabVIEW). I'm mainly looking at the Centrino because of battery life and it's performance compared to the P4s (~2-2.6 GHz). As far as gaming I could see myself installing a few games...

The eMachines and I think I saw a Compaq with nice specs powered by the AMD chip. I'm looking at the HP ZT3010US laptop as my favorite right now. Got any other sugestions? Trying to stay in the $1500 range, a little over is no big deal.

I was wondering what you guys think of the Mobile Athlons. How are they on battery life and performance when compared to Intel's big two processors, the P4M and the PM? They sure as hell are cheaper, but is it really worth it if the...
