The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved.

Does anyone have this laptop? I'm very interested in it but I'm not sure. I can't find any reviews on it, not even on c-net =/

I'm worried that the 1.6ghz isn't that fast

I'm awaiting this same notebook. As far as speed, I'm not much worried at all. In a recent review they compared several notebooks calculating Pi to 2 million digits and it edged out a Pentium M 1.86GHz and a 2.2GHz Turion:

IBM ThinkPad T43 (1.86 GHz Pentium M): 1m 45s
MSI 1013 (AMD Turion MT-40): 1m 35s
Toshiba Tecra A6 ( 1.66GHz Core Duo): 1m 25s
Lenovo ThinkPad T60 (2.0GHz Core Duo): 1m 18s

I'd say that's plenty fast enough.

LHappydude is the only guy in this forum I've seen that actually has one (see this thread) and seems really happy with it. You might try sending him a PM or emailing him if you have questions.

Oh, and as an addendum, if you do decide to buy this notebook I highly recommend purchasing through Portable One. They are great people to work with.
