I have the nc8000 (1.8ghz) from the company I work for and really like it. The only downside is that it's a bit noisy for a centrino (the fan). It's still more silent then the A64 notebook I had before, but clearly audible. While waiting...

I would not recomend getting a P4 based notebook as the fans are usually very loud. Cubase sx3 allready has a 64bit version out which according to Steinberg gives big gains in performance (have not seen any reviews out yet). I would...

The low voltage A64 is a pretty efficient processor, but the chipsets are not close (in efficiency) to what centrino's offer. This is the reason that a centrino with equal weight and battery will get more batterylife.

LOL I would'nt have believed news like this would cause a rukus on a site like this... I guess there's fan boys everywhere. If you look at powerusage of the 90nm A64's as reported by tomshardware and anandtech in their P4 3800...
