An A4 (Z81) chassis with a Prescott? Ugh. No thanks! No matter how good the graphics are.

Yeah, would've been nice if it had Pentium M or Turion in it. Also, it lacks a DVI out port.

Small steps guys... this looks like their first real swing at a DTR. I think its going to be a P4 for the main reason that its a DTR, not your everyday take to school/work/library ect.

so now it has MXM tech with the 6800go 256mb card, which is nice. who knows what it will be upgraded to in the future, but at least the capability is there.

pentium 4 just sucks, why is anyone using it anymore, its hot, its slow, it kills batteries. just garbage... and yes i agree with the above statement, PM or Turion, even a regular AMD64 is better than P4

P4...oh dear

imo the Prescott in a laptop is just a recipe for disaster in terms of heat and fan noise.

I used to own a Dell i9100 with a P4 3.4ghz processor, 1 gb ram, hitachi 7200 rpm 60GB HDD and the awesome Radeon 9800 256MB, it was one helluva powerful lappy but the downside was constant noise and heat.

The idea of a DTR seemed like a good one to me when I bought the Dell. I figured it would be easier to transport than a desktop set up and though it's true, looking back I only made one major trip with it from France to Japan. After that it stayed put at home and I would have been much happier with agood desktop PC for gaming and photoshop and a less powerful but light weight lappy for wireless stuff, university etc.

So my advice to anyone thinking about buying a DTR is go with a Desktop computer and get a cheap laptop for portability...if you can afford it that is.
