oh do you know why the 15.4 sceen with the 51m is only available in silver because i like the green but do not want to pay 348 dollars more for a little bigger screen just to get a green, i actually like it a little bit smaller. have you seen the silver does it look good or is green much cooler

Get the green!

It is like paint job you would find on a car with clear coat. I read somewhere that the Silver is the base color for these cases, ad some have mentioned that it is not what you would expect a car to have. Some have reported theirs with clearcoat. Can't confirm, but the people here with silver can give feedback.

You did not decid on getting an Alienware to keep a low profile.

The Sentia is Great!

The heaviest game that I have played on it is Call of Duty which did not experience any choppy game play at all.

But then there is the "Saving Private Ryan" (Dabigone's words) effect when a tank shells the house you are camped at. But this is part of the game.

oh sweet yeah i will probably get the sentia but i am looking to save every dollar possible so how much of a diff would it make to get the 1056 ddr than the 512 ddr. because i could save 100 bucks getting the 512 instead of the 1056. also do they put the sentias through the 12 phase thing that takes forever or not. is that just the 51m's

It does go through the phases like the others.
I ordered mine Nov. 25 03
Went through 2 holidays and got it on Dec. 26. 03
Fast enough in my books.

Wait times these days are improving...

Some here would suggest to get the least amount of RAM and purchase it on your own. The laptop hold max of 1 gig RAM. 1 stick of 1024 would cost more than necessary. Get 2x512.
