    i have a budget <1300 dollars (total components). I'm looking to purchase and build a barebones system based on the pentium m.

    I'm going to use this sytem for traveling and i'll be using it strictly for development and mobility. 14" screen is desired. I like the thinkpads a lot but they are far too expensive.

    Can anyone point me to a good barebones system that will suit my needs? thanks

    The ASUS Z63a is a good barebone choice
