Advantages: Very hot - great if you are in a cold climate Disadvantages: Overheats
...Pros: Nice big screen, fast processor. When you pump it up to 1GB RAM it works quite well
You can put your coffee cup next to the cooling fan outlet and keep your coffee warm for hours. Great in cold climates.
It's got the IBM logo on the outside. Now that I know that IBM stands for "Its a Broken Machine" I'm no longer as thrilled. I am retiring the machine as a LAMP server and have moved my Windows apps to my Acer replacement laptop.
Cons:
The hard drive died within a week of using it. It was replaced under warranty, but they installed the wrong OS. When the correct OS was installed, it came with free spyware.
18 months later this laptop still overheats terribly, and the IBM workshop took 4 weeks to "fix" it and there is no improvement whatsoever. It's a terrible design flaw, and totally overpriced. I am using a replacement laptop...

Advantages: Very Very fast Disadvantages: Not ultra Cheap
...I have recently purchased an IBM NetVista which runs with an Athlon 1GHz..
This is one fast beast! Really really fast. I use a lot of processor intensive software and it really shows it's pace. Even in mundane tasks, such as comressing music or defreagging the Hard Drive, I am still amazed at the speed. It is a socket A, I am not sure if it is one of the new breed with performance enhancing cache memory closer to the processor or whether it is an older variant of the usual slot Athlon, as it is not described as a T-Bird.
But i REALLY DON'T CARE!! I wouldn't need anything faster and I think that it would be hard to tell the difference too.
Mind you, I built a computer a few months back which runs a T-Bird 850 and the speed difference IS noticeable!
The thing is, as the new chips come out, the slightly older one drop in price. In that way...

As a gamer, I needed the best processor out there. Searching around, the only real debate in this price range was whether to go for the E6850, a dual core CPU, or the Q6600, a quad core at a lower clock. After looking at many different benchmarks and... more
