Asus M6Ne + ATI 9700 is gonna be awhile - Page 2

The owner is a really nice guy, I was playing GTA 3 with him at work on sunday, I work for his wife who owns the Carvel i manage.

yeah, M6Ne is 15.1" SXGA+ ; M6BNe is 15.4" WXGA -- justin at proportable said that asus is putting all of the samsung wsxga screens in the apple powerbooks and the w1.... he said if the yield on the screens becomes higher, the M6BNe is the next notebook in line for the upgrade.... he said they were looking at July sometime, but that is dependant on samsung. There is a good chance it never comes in.

rjtech.com has the M6Ne's too and their prices are a little cheaper, don't know much about their customer service other than their reseller rating is 9.6

I don't either. I think anyone who's ever asked proportable questions, they not only know the systems, but answer everyone pretty quickly and pretty detailed... even if they weren't buying from them.

One thing you have to factor in, which I did... was their use of higher quality parts... especially Kingston's performance RAM... Also, you must figure in their 3 year warranty. In my opinion... I bought from someone who knew what I wanted to buy with out reading off a spec sheet. That means a lot. They even suggesting me getting the 1.5 banias -- this is months ago, because at the time it was the best bang for my buck.... with the intent of upgrading to the 2.0-2.3 ghz dothan a year from now when prices dropped. I wanted to go with a 1.7 at the time, it was crazy expensive, but justin at proportable talked me into getting the 7200rpm hard drive because it better suited my needs, than waisting what I didn't have for bragging rights on the cpu....... bad sales method, but I appreciated it.

The one thing that is very important is they started using the extended edition 7200rpm drives right when I got mine.. They are more expensive, but their wattage is like 1/2 of the regular 7200rpm drives... helps performance and battery life and heat issues.

just a though.

what is their website, they sound pretty good...

are you talking to me or Rahul? If you're talking to me, I was mentioning proportable... thats their website too.. It wasn't that hard

yeah that's down or something, I can't open the page.

edit: proportable.com or proportable.g2.cc...same thing

either works. I was talking to them the other day and they said something about their routers getting fried. maybe they are working on them. just give them a ring or something
