I just got hold of a widescreen Compaq Pressario laptop from Circuit City. I love the widescreen even though I'm not yet done typing 100 words on the laptop yet

For those of you in need of a laptop, here's the deal:

At about 1100(after taxes) it's a steal

Hmm.. compaq wouldn't be my first choice in buying a new laptop. I have had some very bad experience with them in the past. So, I wish you some better luck with it.

wow, that looks incredibly similar in design to my powerbook. same hinge mechanism, trackpad positioning, colouring, proportions

Just hope it doesn't have Compaq's trademark flaw, the video cable gets pinched after a while.

Funny thing is last year around summer I got the extra-small Averatec. This year it's a widescreen

I'll be traveling next week and can see the Yao Ming ad being played out as my and my sibling roll out our notebooks. LOL.

I congradulate you, besides that nearly all "wide screens" are crap. They look horrible, and everything is streched, because they put crap resolutions on them.

I personally like my Toshiba P25 & PowerBook

The P25 is nice and clear. It gives me a larger area to work with especially when toggling between apps, now I can sit them side by side!

Anyways,
Good luck with the laptop!

Why did you post this three times?

Not to argue with you, but have you played with one of Gateway's widescreens? I have quiet a bit and have not experienced the problems you're describing.
