HP makes the CNX9600 but I believe it is referred to as the zd8000 when you buy it in a non-busines setting. http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/cto/computer_customize_components.do#901324jagzzzzzz said:Who makes the cnx 9600. First time visiting the laptop forum, time to buy a portabl gaming computer!
towert7 said:Ive had this new laptop for about 5 days now, and i really like it! (which is saying something, because im usually picky).
Its an Acer Aspire 1681
80gb hard drive, intel internal wireless b/g, Pentium M 1.5ghz centrino, 512mb of ram (soon to be about 1200mb), windowsXP home, ~5 hour batter life, ~6.5lbs, 15.4" wide screen @ 1280x800 (beauitful resolution, text is amazing). The screen itself has very little ghosting, and it plays my old games (diablo 2, unreal Tournament, starcraft, minesweeper), even though it uses a intigrated graphic card.... usually around 40+ fps.
The only major big thing i don't like, is the back light, the screen is amaing, but the backlight is'nt too good (too bright on the bottom, too dark on the top of the screen). This i can live with though.
I also got a creative labs audigy 2 zs PCMCIA sound card, which im using right now with sennheiser HD-497 headphones.
Acer preloaded the computer with software that automatcally installed all the correct drives, very impressive. What's even more impressive, no "bloat ware" which was a pain when i dealt with Dell.
Great for a mobile graphic / website design computer, and it has a DVD player, so i can watch movies ^_^.
i got it from newegg http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=34-115-186&depa=0 for $989us.
Great notebook!

How's the sound from that PCMCIA audigy?

Damn, I'm SOOOO tempted to get one of those XPS2 beauties. I'd do it tonight if I could sell my Hornet Pro. There doesn't seem to be much demand for used SFF computers.GuruX said:I have the Audigy 2 ZS Notebook as well.....

you are going to PAINT a THINKPAD?Xenarchy said:I'm going to take it out of it's home this summer and give it a new paint job .

i would reconsider that.. not only becuase they look cool in all black, but becuase it would look crappy on the lid, as that is not plastic...
Ooohhh, I sure don't wanna get TSS mad at me. He might have his mommy call my mommy and then I'd be grounded and couldn't play D&D all weekend.TSS Modder said:ok ppl.... im getting REALLY tired of this....
