Anyway...I\'m not buying a notebook until they enable you to videocard upgrade ; Nvidia\'s MXM tech or something similair by Ati.

My sister got a Thompson (I think) laptop a few months ago, I was shocked when I found out it was a 3.06GHz P4 in there, she got it at a pretty low price too, around 10 000 Kr (1,509). The GPU was shit though, some Intel crap. But she only uses it for ArcGIS anyways so.

Laptops are starting to look pretty good nowadays, the last laptop I owned was a PII 336MHz. :)

Post by: L i L K u B B s on January 04, 2005, 01:28:10 PM: I was just looking on the site real quick to get an idea of the prices. A laptop with a 3.4 P4, 2 gigs of ram, a Ge Force Go 6800, and an 8X DVD + R/RW combo drive cost nearly $4000.00. Cyrus\' has double the ram and another 60 gig hard drive. That\'s alot of loot for a laptop..
