    Has anyone owned—or just plain heard of—a laptop clone chassis called Cicero Mobility (1500, 12000)?

    Future Shop is offing a customization deal on it with some attractive options, but the few pictures they’ve got up of this box don’t inspire confidence.

    Any opinions welcome…

    The 1500 looks like a Clevo M37EW...although the "customization" does not offer a whole lot of....well....CUSTOMIZATION [ ;)]

    I work at Future Shop in Calgary AB. i work at the McLeoud Tr location which is the Number 1 laptop generating department in the country. cicero is a division of Seanix computers. they have relations with Best Buy and Future Shop Canada. in terms of their desktop computers, they use nothing but the best of parts, however sometimes there is conflicts in terms of compatibility. 80% of the desktops work perfectly fine and 20% require a system recovery before they work good. in terms of desktops they use either Gigabyte, MSI, and Asus motherboards, western digital hard drives, LG burners and Kingston ram. but that's desktops, in terms of the laptops they are amazing, a couple features they've included on their notebooks are the built in webcam and and the side scroll adapted from the HP's. all in all they run very well in price, if you want more info, check out the future shop site, or just contact me, get a first hand insiders look at the unit as well as find out common problems noted by our tech bay.
