Laptop Magazine reviews CL56!

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
A couple notes:

-The laptop was tested from ChemUSA as the Chembook whateverthehellnumber
-The processor was a pentium M 1.7.... it didn't say whether it was Binais or Dothan
-It had a ATI Raedon Mobile 9600

The magazine gave it 4 out of 5 stars.

It said that it was light and powerful and all of the normal stuff we hear on these forums anyway.

The only con was that it was a little too pricy.

It also said that the keyboard and touchpad were really nice and ergonomic.

Hope this helps anyone who is looking to buy this laptop.... I know it helped me.

For those of you who are interested, the magazine cover is red with a big ugly blackberry-type device on this months cover. The review of the cl56 is a few pages from the back.

I'm gonna order mine from RBC, as soon as they price match a couple of more items.

I alrdy got them to lower their price on the 512 PC2700, hopefully they can pricematch the chassis and the hard drive.

I noticed on their site today that they updated their prices on most if not all parts for laptops, so u may wanna go reconfigure urs to see what the price is now for u, if u haven't done so alrdy

Oh yea if ur not sure whether to buy from Tigerdirect or RBC, check their reseller ratings, gives a pretty good indication of their overall service and other stuff.

Tigerdirect.ca
ShopRBC

Pretty obvious where to buy it from, and RBC has pricematching to boot
