    HI, I am interested in the Travelmate 8000 series, But why has it only a 15" screen when it has the ATI 9700 m/128MB card, and all the top spec.
    why is it, that the smaller models have the 15,5" and the big models only have a 15"

    Please help a confused Dane

    What do you mean the smaller models, smaller model# or smaller units? If you're talking about smaller model# units, well, it's just the way they number their product lines. The 8000 series is based on the Ferrari series design (without all the flashy red). It just happens that this series has a 15" LCD. I don't think they're gonna release a 15.4" widescreen 8000 series model, at least not yet.
