Acer TM 661LMi

intel centrino 1.4GHz
768MB ram
40GB HDD
64MB graphic card
15" TFT 1400x1050
DVD RW
wireless lan
win xp pro

i can highley recommend that notebook, it´s even better than a equivalent sony vaio, which i had before.
it´s unbelievable quiet, light ( only 2.86kg), faster than a 2GHz intel M, and due to the centrino processor it need not be recharged for over 5 hours when working or surfing all the time.

Was the same here until Telewest (A big Cable TV and broadband company in the UK) rolled out 1meg (100k sec) and recently 2meg (200k sec) lines.

It's not available in all the UK only select areas and it also costs £50 per month which is $121 AUD - although it's not mega bucks is not cheap either

Damn thats expensive SDK!! :shock:
I pay $40 (24 GBP) just for internet access. Hell, my internet and cable TV bill (same company) is less than what you pay for internet service!

Laptop (coming in a week)
P4 2,53 MHz
512 RAM
Radeon 9600 128 MB
15" screen
60 GB HDD
DVD writer
I guess it will be fast enough now (replacing P3 1,2 MHZ, 512 RAM, Ati mobility M6, 30 HDD ...)

I just changed my laptop:

athlon xp 2.4+
512 ddr ram
chipset 333
geforce 4 440
15.1'
30 gigs
dvd/cd writer


I'm quite happy but 1.3 hours autonomy is not a lot...

I have the 2Meg Cable Line from Telewest (http://www.telewest.co.uk/) and have the option to change it to either 512k, 1 Meg or back to 2Meg with 1 months notice.

If you are a big downloader then the extra ££'s for the 2meg line is worth it, otherwise 512k or 1Meg is enough

Standard charges are (per month)

512k - £30
1 Meg - £40
2 Meg - £55

They offer small discounts if you also sign up for their Phone and Digital TV Service

1Meg Internet, Digital TV and Phone Package = £60 per month (Saving £5)

This is anyway a pretty good offer compared to what we can have here.. what about upload speeds?
