Anyone know some laptop company where I can get an Athlon mobile and a GeForce 4 go? A friend of mine needs a laptop asap, and he asked my help....

Very good deals here:

http://www.sagernotebook.com/index.html

I've owned two of them. Internally they are nearly identical to Toshiba. In fact, most parts (HD, CD, etc) ARE Toshiba. The screen quality cannot be beat. I bought the top of the line Dell a few months ago and returned it immediately because the screen was garbage compared to a lesser-priced Sager. I have a 5620 model with Radeon 7500 64mb, P4 1.8ghz, 512mb DDR.

Alienware sells "gamer" laptops but they are actually Sagers with green paintjobs and an $800 price hike!!! Personally I also recommend Toshiba, Notebook (lowest quality / price of the bunch) and Sony (highest quality / price of the bunch). My recommendations are based mainly on overall quality and screen quality. I'm really picky in screens.

Heh! Thanks. Yes I'm lazy as sh!t. I'd rather click around aimlessly than take the time to make the link clickable. :\

They all seem to use P4's....we want an Athlon for several reasons, and Ati vid cards- definite no no from my experience.

The mobile Radeon 9000 should be good? You got very bad ATi experience?

My PC eats so much money that I'm in 'desperate' need of it to buy PC3500 RAM, help Svol with his OC project!

Extremely bad, and multiple times. Now whenever a friend has an Ati card, I offer to send it up and blow up in a rocket and give em an NV card.

I believe HP has AMD processors, or they did recently. Their screens are pretty good and the machines seem to be of good quality. My mother bought one a few months back and it's behaved well. Check Toshiba as well (also good screens). I don't know if they've abandoned AMD like Sager seems to have.

I bet the mobile ATi is much more stable than you think and has the absolute performance you'd want. Plus it saves you some power for longer battery life.
I say open your mind and take the risk.
Also a P3 can be a better system, the Athlon will be hot like the P4s and has crappy chipset support for mobile.

Well, my mobility 7500 is stable as can be and runs games quite well. The M8 or whatever it's predecessor was had the best battery savings I've ever seen. You can still get those and they perform well.

So if I say I have a ATi card then you will give me a GeForce4 Ti4600?
