The Alienware laptops are made by Sager. You can do a search for them for quality. I haven't used one, but the people I talk to aren't impressed. One person I talked to was waiting weeks to get his. Of course, Apple has a horrible track record for shipping things quickly as well.
As you noticed, the CPU is a desktop P4. The mobile P4 has power saving features that extend battery life and reduce heat. I haven't looked into it a lot, but I think it's basically the same as the old SpeedStep that would run the CPU at full speed when powered off of AC, but throttle down when on battery. -Kevin > -----Original Message----- > From: Raymond Camden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, August 20, 2002 7:53 AM > To: CF-Community > Subject: RE: Time to buy a laptop > > > That is a freaking _cool_ laptop.
