hi everybody,

I've been searching the forum and reading everybody's advice. Thanks to these forums, I've decided to get the Acer 1711 and I'm wondering if it's possible / advisable to change the P4 CPU with a Pentium M Dothan CPU? Has anybody done this? I like all the options of the 1711 but I'm hoping to extend battery life a little with the Pentium M.

....I'm pretty sure this is not possible because they're running on different chipsets.

edit: and nobody buys the 1711 for battery life, let me tell you that

thanks for the reply. yeah, I've been searching all day online and I think you're right. the chipset that comes with this notebook won't take a pentium m.

I'm not too concerned about battery life, just hoping to make a few tweaks here and there to get that little bit extra.
