Chances are, unless you intend to build from barebone, DiscountLaptops will have one of the lowest prices on this lappy but also keep in mind that thier service/rating is second to none.
Anyway, Unleaded should be able to give you more info for he bought this same lappy just recently.
Good luck.

And if I buy barebone, where can I buy all the material and the barebone?
keep in mind that thier service/rating is second to none.

Thanks,

"Second to none" means that it's the second if you compare to "nothing", i mean, it's the first the first

On the last world cup, Germany was "second" to Brazil.

ps.: a true american/english speaker can confirm this, but i think it's right.

Well, what I meant is that they are one of the best retailers out there, just like DDDa said.
I usually buy everything I need for my PCs from www.newegg.com. Over there you can get cpu and AS5 thermal compound, RAM, HD, wireless card if it isn't included in the barebone, and I guess this is pretty much everything you are gonna need to build your own notebook.
And, again, newegg's service is second to none - don't worry you will get used to these - btw, I am also from abroad.

DDDa, did you get a barebone twinhead?
And the 1,8P-M CPu is = to how much GHz for a P4?
At newegg, I can't see where to buy only the barebone? Not all the components, only the chassi?

Thanks,
Blacko

I got my N15RB direct from Twinhead. Discountlaptops does carry it but I don't believe they allow you to purchase the barebones only...their configuration options are somewhat limited as well, but getting better. There is no doubt that their feedback on resellerratings.com is VERY good.

1.8 Dothan would be ~2.8-3.0 P4 but I would advise you to get 1.7 - cheaper and 0.1GHz less is nothing you will miss.
As far as I know, newegg DO NOT sell Twinhead or any other barebones for laptops.

That's one of the limitations in configuration at DL, they don't allow you to spec the system with a 1.7...only 1.5, 1.8 and 2.0.

My 1.7gHz Twinhead came from rawpowerpc.com and I'm very happy with it.

As you can see on my signature, I don't have a Twinhead, let alone the barebone. I wouldn't build my notebook, I don't have notebook hardware skills...

As everyone else said, newegg is a good reseller (own experience). I never bought a notebook from them, but accessories for it (as zlatanov said). They have an extensive list of computer related parts.

And about the P-m to P4 convertion, zlatanov said everything already. I'm not updated about the Dothan prices now, but one month ago, the best performance/price ratio was the Dothan 1.7 Ghz. I remember that I could upgrade from 1.6 to 1.7 for less than $70 from rjtech, but going from 1.7 to 1.8 would cost me ~ $180 more, IIRC.

No, you're wrong. Second to none implies that it is second to nobody, or more simply stated, in first. Even if you wanted to argue that the phrase could mean that it finished always finished 3rd or worse, that's untrue, because, for example, if it was 4th, it'd be second to 3rd place.

Unlead, I don't want to be impolite, but how much did your laptop cost you? If i buy from twinhead, is it cheaper than to pass buy a reseller?

Thanks,

No, you're both wrong! LOL

We use it as a phrase to represent "It's the best"
but it could be taken the other way... think about it...
"So do you have an STD?"
"yeah, but i only have chlamydia, and that's second to none."

meaning: chlamydia isn't that bad, it's second behind no std which is in first place (obviously), then there could be other ones, for example say ... "aids is second to chlamydia," in this case that means that aids is in third place

lol, this is a bad example but it is the first one that popped in my head.


it's just a figure of speech though, who cares?

Blacko, you can't buy it direct from Twinhead. I am a reseller which is why I was able to get mine from them. I think I paid around $1700 for the configuration as listed in my sig, expect a similar config from a reseller to be about $200 more or so if they are aggressive in their pricing.
