Over skimpily dressed supermodels? No.. over a skimpy notebook. The Compaq Presario B1900 has caught my eye for a while now, for its clean design and ultraportable features. It’s currently number 1 on the CNet reviews, with a rating of 9/10.
Pros: light (1.75kg), good connectivity (wifi, bluetooth, sd/mmc/ms), slightly better gfx (by ATI), cost ($2k – $1), detachable DVD-RW
Cons: battery (2hr?), non-gamer (not powerful enough)
I’d gladly top the battery from 4-cell to 6-cell for an extra hour’s worth of battery life, with the weight up to 1.9kg — it’s still tons light than my current one. If I really do get 1 I’ll need a RAM upgrade to 2gb too. These will definitely push the base price up and set me back by $2K+. And with the impending GST increase…ahhhhhh!
13 more days… how about an ultra early birthday present? 😛
it’s light man.. 12.1 inch?
yep same size as yours i think
i was also looking at a 12.1″ or 13.x” screen previously but after i saw the actual sizes live, i think i’ll still stick to 14″ or even 15.4″. my eyesight is failing. sob sob.
if it has a bigger screen while being light and compact i don’t mind too.
but since this thingie isn’t a need i’ll just continue to drool until the model is obsolete or i start drooling over another model…
