Cool!... been thinking about a new laptop..... let us know how it is.... otherwise.... any suggestions out there on a great laptop?
moving this to tech... I bought my son this one for College: Acer Travelmate 4504 TM4504LMi Windows XP Professional Edition, CyberLink Power DVD 1.8 GHz Pentium M processor, 400 MHz front side bus 1 GB 333 MHz memory, 100 GB hard drive, DVD-Dual drive 3 USB 2.0, FireWire, S-Video TV-out, fast infrared, connector for optional Port Replicator III Intel Extreme Graphics graphics controller, Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, 10/100 LAN, 56K data/fax modem I paid $1217 for it from buy.com 3rd Acer Notebook in the house. I've actually adopted mine as my Home use PC and let the Super Screamer Desktop gather dust and handle print jobs... I run the TM 45021LMi and the only difference was that I get an 80GB HD and 512 RAM instead of his GiG. Mine runs around 800 right now.
Forgot to mention, these TMs all have DVD/CD writers and internal WIFI. Found one similar to mine for $1133: http://pc15.flashecom.com/susale/ssproduct.asp?pf_id=10440344
I know this is an old thread, but i am looking at a toughbook, 1tb hard rive, 4g ram and so on. How are they holding up?
We've been using one at work for a couple of years...so far, it is doing better than any laptop we've had, to include sustained battery life.
