506889	2007-01-04 20:03:00	Are these laptops been sold as vista ready or premium ready? me personally would be going for a dual2core. It seems to me that DSE are getting rid of all there non vista ready notebooks. If you buy one of these its going to be a white elephant before vista even comes out. Unless you plan to never run vista then disregard this post	plod (107)

Unless you plan to never run vista then disregard this post I would say that you would still be safe with XP for at least till the end of 2007. Running Vista on a laptop with the full Aero GUI is going to drain your laptop battery after 2hrs use and using Vista without the Aero GUI is just like using a more bloated version of XP that does the same stuff anyway.	winmacguy (3367)

Specs: 1.6 GHz duo core, 80 GB HDD, 1 GB DDR2 and nVidia GeForce Go 6100 (takes up to 128MB of system memory), WiFi, integrated webcam - all these for $1800. What do you think, guys? Cheers :)	Renmoo (66)

Cheers :) Well integrated webcam is becoming standard on virtually all laptops now although the bulk of them look a bit clumsy. As for the rest of the specs they look pretty standard. Don't for get to add another $100 or so dollars to the cost of the laptop for each year that you own it for the standard IT servicing that PC laptops tend to required these days. I have a feeling that the majority of the hardware manufacturers are trying to clear their stock to make way for all the Vista capable stuff which will be coming soon, that would explain the low prices around stores right now. My advice would be to hold off till next week if you can and see what is announced at both CES and MWSF and then check the prices around the stores again. Or Take the Acer now. Just my 2 cents. Goodluck. :)	winmacguy (3367)
506893	2007-01-06 09:37:00	Feck, again with the CES and MWSF, are you on a payment scheme?, In love?, Where the hell is the black death when you need it?	Metla (12)
506894	2007-01-06 10:01:00	Feck, again with the CES and MWSF, are you on a payment scheme?, In love?, Where the hell is the black death when you need it? Definitely NOT on a payment scheme with CES :eek: I just keep up with whats going on around the traps, the bulk of which will be announced at both events, which will then have a knock on effect as to what PF1 forum users will be reading about when they buy or upgrade their systems over the coming weeks. CES will be the biggy for Pf1 forum readers. Bill Gates, Micheal Dell and a whole bunch of others talking about all the new stuff coming out.	winmacguy (3367)
506895	2007-01-06 10:50:00	Lmao, Bill Gates and Micheal Dell. Yeah right. They are right up there with Martha Stewart and Rosie O'Donnell. Research will serve us better if not discount the bull**** peddalled at these marketing events.	Metla (12)
