| Looking to buy a notebook So far I've looked into eMachines, Dell, HP/Compaq, Fujitsu, Acer, Asus, Samsung, and IBM notebooks. I'm not really sure what to get...I know what I want, but can't seem to find any that has it. Here is what I'm trying to get: amd athlon 64 (mobile/desktop) or intel pentium m *ati radeon 9700 w/ 128mb or x600 w/ 128mb if at all available *1gig memory, preferably 2x512mb or 512mb, 1x512mb upgradeable to 2x512mb ddr400 or ddr333 80gig hdd w/ 8mb cache if possible dvd writer or cd writer, prefers dvd writer or something around there...Am I asking for too much? |

| Dell has one on sale this week until Thurs for $2200 that is very close to your specs here: http://www1.us.dell.com/content/prod...=19&l=en&s=dhs It is a very good deal for the money. Includes a 3.4 P4C. |

| Yes....I think you are asking too much. I don't think you'll get a laptop with all that. I still recommend Pentium M (Centrino) processors for laptops (last much, much longer on the battery). I don't think there is ANY laptop with a video card even close to that! You "might" be able to find a 64Mb vid card....maaaaybe. 1 gig memory? That might be possible, though probably not common and I don't know if you can get a Hdd with 8mb cache or not.

| I guess I was wrong...that one PCB linked to did have the vid card you suggested. I didn't think they'd be on any laptops.

| I don have much $$ but I am considering this notebook. I dont really need one now but I will when I start school in a year or so. I think its a great notebook, 2.8GHZ P4 (533),64MB FX5200,512MB DDR 266,30GB HDD, CDRW\DVDROM, Wireless, Win XP Home and even a carrying case. It starts at about 1000 but when I got done ading my upgrades it was about 1400
