    After a week of messing around with my OS's Ultimate and x64 XP Pro. I really like it. Its faster than my Desktop dual core AMD 3800+ X2 with 2GB ram. The Screen is really nice as well once you get the gamma set correctly and a 7200 rpm drive is highly recommended. Its ample power for digital photography for what I do. And it plays games like World of Warcraft, and Supreme Commander very nicely. I am very happy! This is my forst laptop I ever bought. And I am glad I made the choice. My only gripe is with Ibuypower. a week after I recieved this laptop they slashed prices and now offer a t7400 cpu and Mushkin ram rather than the t7200 and Value corsair ram I got for the same price.

    Other than that once more thing I notices, but I assume its indicative of all laptops is when I touch the back the screen is easy messes upthe liquid crystal. It seems a little fragile, so I try to too put too my pressure in the back while clsoing or whenin transport.

    I hope Compal keeps it up.

    :)
