My new, wicked laptop:)
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.

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!

Probably an accidental triple post, not a crisis.

Yup, I couldn't tell you why there are three posts, I only clicked the submit button once. I'm guessing its WHT's fault considering we can post once every 90 seconds, and they are much closer than that.

I saw the same laptop about a week ago at Burean en Gros (a subsidiary of Staples) and I liked the price. Only at close to 8 lbs forget about portability, if it's heavier then 5 lbs I call it a minature desktop because it will be sitting on your desk (at least in my case).
It might be good if you plan on moving it from time to time or from house to house but if you want it on the road I don't recommend it.Jean-Pierre Abboud / I'm the TekGURU

I bought an iBook a couple weeks back, 933MHz. As you can immagine I was slightly pissed off when they released the 1.2GHz model a week later for less than what i paid.
