    It's great that we are getting many nice reviews of the HEL80 on here - special thanks goes to Donald for sending it to us.

    Thanks for all the reviews. :)

    I was looking at Sager but since they don't seem to offer a Duo Core 15.4" machine with a decent graphics card, I've discovered Compal. The HEL80 is a very sweet machine. I'm going to try to wait for Duo Core 2 and Vista if I can, as I don't need a machine now, but this is probably on the top of my list. :)

    Unfortunately, Sager's 15.4" models with dedicated video may end with the NP 5320. :(
