should be getting it today, then we can have a nice low/high spec comparison.

I have the targus bag that came with the mobility bundle on my m680XL, its a little cheap feelings, but it seves its purpose, ::shrug::

sounds like you have a shoddy dvd drive. Mine is still ok (i have the much maligned QSI model), but it does some strange things now and then, like sometimes it refuses to recognize disks, so i eject the disk and reinsert and its ok. If...

with no gaming, absolutely not worth it to upgrade the graphics card. However, the above people are assuming this is a desktop processor, which of course it isn't. A 270Mhz increase on a pentium 4 makes very little difference. On a...

80's You may want to send that in for warranty service. Definitely sounds like a warped heatsink or maybe just a malfunctioning temperature probe, if you say your lap isn't that hot. I've only seen mine hit 70 once, and that was...

Yeah it seems to just be a name change, specs are identical, slight changes in default equipment. They renamed many laptops that are still the same thing. Who knows why...corporate stuff probably. As for your choice dilemma...most of...

Another thing to try if you are having temperature trouble is to make sure your power profile isn't set to "max performance". This causes the processor to run full speed (and full heat) all the time, whether the system needs...

Well...that is high, but I wouldn't worry, the pentium M is rated for 100° max temperature. And you obviously are still nowhere near that. 65 is a much scarier number on a desktop processor than it is on a mobile one.

dj, you can get this card, its a standard mini-PCI card...but i'd call and make sure they still wire the laptop with the wireless antenna (its wired through the border of the screen, not something you'd want to do yourself) if you don't...

1:30 for me vanco, i guess that extra .13 makes a little difference on the processor speed, since my specs are the same as yours except the vid card.
