Ok, so I've been looking and looking online for exactly what I want for the exact price that I want to spend ---> it just doesnt exist. Thus, I have a few questions for you brilliant minds out there. How can compile a laptop with a 7200rpm HD (that 60giger kicks butt), 1024 of system RAM, NO OS (I can install XP myself), but has the support/warranty and "feel/look" as a well respected IBM Thinkpad (or whatever flavor you like....IBM or Sony for my tastes)???
Oh yea, dont forget my graphics requirements (what do you think 5600? 9600? something beefy).
I'd have no problem buying the HD 3rd party and the memory from Crucial, but I cannot find an OEM (I called Sony and IBM) who will sell me a laptop w/o an OS and Hard Drive (and w/o memory while you're at it)......
So, anyone have some suggestions? I love to get a P4M (I believe this is the chip that has some power saving capabilities yet utimately has the 1meg cache if I'm not mistaken). It'd also be wonderful to have an internal wifi card (802.11g would be even sweeter). Anyways, these are my desires.....answers?
Thanks Dale
