    I'm in the market for a notebook and was going to order one from ibuypower.com until I checked all the horrible feedback from people, but I looked at the MWave.com notebooks (http://www.mwave.com/mwave/ProdNOTEBOOK-MWAVE.hmx?updepts=NB&DNAME=Notebooks) and I'm now thinking about getting the CL56 notebook. Has anyone had any experience with MWave notebooks? I've probably ordered from MWave 15 plus times and they've always been reliable with me but I was wondering if anyone has ordered one of their notebooks or knows of any other good sites? Thanks

    what do you plan on doing with it, only one of the models I saw had non-integrated graphics, in which case I'd say look at the HP zx5000 bigger screen, better known, rougly same price.

    zx5000 :: 2.4M :: 512 DDR :: 40gb 4200 RPM HD :: 15.4" :: Radeon 9600 Mobilty M10 :: Aquamark3 22,856

    I'm going to be using it for internet access and a few games. Isn't the 15" SUPER XGA/ATI M11-P 128MB/ a computer with non-integrated graphics? That's the one I'm planning on getting. I thought the graphics card above was the ATI Radeon 9700 mobility graphics card. Am I not correct? Thanks, Jason

    Yeah, it looks like it, I didn't notice that one before.

    zx5000 :: 2.4M :: 512 DDR :: 40gb 4200 RPM HD :: 15.4" :: Radeon 9600 Mobilty M10 :: Aquamark3 22,856

    If you want to know about the cl56, you should go check out www.notebookforums.com. There are several users of the cl56 there that have posted lots of reviews of the unit. As I recall, the viewing angles aren't so good.
