This looks like a rebadge of an Acer machine I saw recently. The build quality was dire, it weighed a TON and I think it's a desktop HD in it. This isn't a laptop, it's a desktop with a notebook form factor. I'd say it's overpriced,...

Great machine. Bought in April after looking at the Sager 8887 and deciding to steer clear of it after I had some serious doubts over quality. This VAIO is extremely fast (P4M 1.8 GHZ, 512MB, upgraded to 60GB 5400RPM drive), battery...

Well, well, well... aren't you lot all a bit touchy!! 1. I have checked out the screen clearance issue and those who say the Sony lid is poorer are in FANTASYLAND. I don't know which Sony model you are talking about, but the lid on...

After givng the 8887 a through workout at the dealer, I decided not to bother. The display model, which has been in his shop about 3 weeks, had visible scratches on the silvered areas which indicate that the paint is suspiciously thin...

Lonewolf, Basilisk II uses PC hardware by firstly emulating the 68K Mac series processor in software (the old Motorola 680x0 series to be exact), and heavily hacks the original Mac ROM chip code to trick it into believing that the...

Myrkat, I just noticed you have the 30.6 HT P4 in your Sager. Basilisk II fully supports multiprocessor options under NT4/2000/XP, so I suspect it that it would see the hyperthreading as a multiprocessor setup and REALLY fly. If you do...

There is currently no Mac emulator for x86 machines available which will emulate PowerMacs, mainly due to the difficulty in emulting a PowerPC processor in software at acceptable speed, and as far as I am aware there are no plans by any...
