| 301204 | 2004-12-09 22:54:00 | I would personally avoid that one. Dick Smith has a very good deal here (www.dse.co.nz) at the moment. For $1299, you can't go wrong with the reputation of Acer backed by a one year international travellers warranty. Suprisingly, its only 2.75kgs and 15"!!! ACER 2302LC Notebook XC3486 |

It's rather low in fact! The Acer's processor is a Pentium Celeron Mobile Being a mobile processor, it increases the battery life, which is always the biggie of buying laptop (smaller voltage), whilst the CPU's architecture maintains its speed. I would roughly guess the 1.4Ghz Mobile to be equal to Celeron -normal- 2.6Ghz~ Someone should be able to give a better comparision... |

| 301210 | 2004-12-10 00:15:00 | but what would that laptop be equal to? a 2.8Ghz? darn annoying how they have these sort of things now, i always thought the higher the Ghz the faster it is........ but it seems my theory is wrong :) |

| 301211 | 2004-12-10 00:16:00 | Thanks Metla, oh well, I had better sell some stocks & bands then. As mentioned earlier, the b-in-law makes the damn things, but he's such a b..head, with his BA's, JPp's and things and I don't want to start him off. Les 3. Ps. I think he put together the Dell brand in Aussie, shoosh, he is back in NZ after 35 years away. les 3 |

| 301212 | 2004-12-10 00:28:00 | Depends on what your doing with the cpu,Performance between a lower ghz M cpu and a desktop cpu will be similar when doing casual tasks,But start doing some encoding or other demanding tasks and they fall on their ass,But then most notebooks aren't designed or purchased for those sort of tasks. All depends on the use,I've used Laptops with Pentium M cpu's and found them so frustrating i would never buy one.... |

| 301213 | 2004-12-10 00:31:00 | if you have $3000 you can get that laptop that will satisfy any desktop power hunter 3.2ghz , p4 1024ram dvdrw big hdd great graphics ( 9600 - 9800 ) all the rest |
