    Hi I have the m1710 with xp and love it but I wanted a small portable so I went out and bought a sony ux380 which is cool but not for me ..so Im selling it and need a small portable I dont want to loose speed as I am a power user. I plan to keep my 1710 for games but want the 1210 as my primary computer.(lots of multitasking but no games.) The 1210 seems to be a great fit but it seems that it has the most problems on this board..is this a good reliable model in general? 2.33 core 2 duo ,7200 100gb hd,256 gpu ,2gb ram, draft N card...ect.Dont want to make another +2000.00 mistake :mad: as I did with the sony UX. Thanxs your opinion is helpful :D My wife is ready to kill me. 3 computers in 3 months.ha.ha. :D

    My brother has an M1210 and it has no problems [excluding the minor keyboard flex].
    The reason many M1210 problems were reported here is because it really is a best-seller laptop.
    BTW, that GPU is not 256MB it is 64MB dedicated + 192MB allocated from the memory when required.
    Putting that aside, if the form factor and thickness and the keyboard layout doesn't matter to you.This is one of your best options. ;)
    (As for the last line, I think some members here can give you some life-saving tips ;) )

    Thanxs I need a small notebook 12 inch but still want all the power of my 1710 to do lots of videos ect. My price range is a max of 3000.00. I am looking for the best model in size group. I would like a core 2 duo prefer the 2.33 ghz. Would like to be able to squeeze 4 hours of web surrfing on the battery. Want Vista...and want this notebook to run it very well ie..window aero.
    Size and speed are big factors. I would not be gaming on this....mabey somthing simple older game but its not a factor. thnxs :D

    If you want battery, go with the Intel graphics, it makes a *big* difference. Especially since you have a gaming system.

    I'm only kidding you, but maybe you should try and take some college courses yourself, like Economics 101! 3 computers in 3 months!
