I want to get one too here for school... just gotta figure out my money first.

If you're in the US, cyberpowersystem.com has some good prices on them... too bad they don't ship to canada for me.

What are you going to use this laptop for?

I like A64's, but haven't kept up on laptops.. Get as much RAM as you can.. They can always use RAM, from what I've done with them..



Dazzle them with Brilliance, or Baffle them with BS! :wink:

Get a 3400+ with a new fangled 9800 and a big display. Battery life will be a respectable 20 minutes (hell, i'll respect it.) You could always get a p4 but thats just not as cool.

A64s are also more power saving than P4s anyways.
And the PowerNow! technology from AMD is supposedly superior to Intel's SpeedStep.

Try to score at least a 9700. The 9800, I dunno if it's even released (considering the rare availability of any X800), and it would likely cost WAY too much.
Consider at least 512MB RAM, and if you CAN, 1GB. Laptops are close to giving actual desktop PC performance nowadays. The HDD speed is the biggest whore though.
Battery life, well, depends on how you use it and how often you run it unplugged. You don't look like you travel much, especially in a plane to justify unplugged usage. You should be quite fine then.

There's no such thing as costing too much, only not having enough money.
