| 318753 | 2005-01-29 05:44:00 | Which are twice the speed as the previous Acer.The one I pointed out is not necessarily slower. You really can't use the word 'speed' to describe it's rating in Ghz. In fact, the one I pointed out, and that rmcb bought, has a mobile processor, which in this case of a laptop, is much better. The 'speed' may be slower, but performance should be not much worse, if not equal or better, and battery life will last for w-a-y---- longer. | ~sy~ (95) | ||

| 318756 | 2005-01-29 09:36:00 | I have an ACER Travelmate 244 Laptop which I bought 6-8 months ago for $1800 approx and its great, runs well and does all the basics soundly. Great value laptop if you can get it now for $1500-odd. I would thoroughly recommend Ascent as an online place to shop as well -- I have done a ton of business with them with no problems at all -- they are excellent to deal with. |

| 318757 | 2005-01-29 10:05:00 | Have had a look at one of these, www.protac.com.au They are very low power units and will do most things. They use a Transmeta CPU which is a Risk cpu and use software to convert to x86 code for windows use. The need for software will slow it down a bit but has the advantage of being able to be upgrade as needed by a simple software update. and the price is very sharp! Here are the specs: · Transmeta TM-8600 CPU ( Similar performance with Intel Celeron 2.6GHz CPU ) · 14.1” TFT 1024x768 LCD Screen · 40GB HDD · 256MB DDR RAM · DVD COMBO Drive · XGI XP5 Graphics with 32MB DDR Video RAM · 8-Cell Battery · USB2.0 ports |

I've seen that comment used in several adds. If they were they would be dominating the market despite intel's monoply. More equivalent to a p3 500 in actual performance. |
