    Processor is outdated, not dual core. Clevo makes good notebooks though and ISTNC is a great reseller. Look for a 12inch dual core system though they will weigh and look about the same. Asus has one just like this, the w5f

    wow I'm surprised they brought over Clevo's ultraportable lines into the US.
    in anycase it's also expensive.. you could probably get a Dell Inspiron 710m or newer MSI for less.

    Eurocom has had the M520G for some time. ISTNC gets their machines from Eurocom. I would give you a link but Eurocom's site is a frameset, can't link that.

    I'd look into something like the M540N if you want a dual-core machine:

    Still a little expensive though.

    Another notebook would be the Asus Z62F.

    Clevo makes the M570A notebook which is awesome I hear. The only problem I heard they had were speakers and audio (pun not intended).
    Plus I like the look of these little monsters.

    Hi,
    i got the Clevo M520M Notebook since 4-5 weeks.
    I bought it here http://www.ww-mmm.de/xtcommerce/product_info.php?products_id=93 (Germany)
    here are some pics http://www.forumdeluxx.de/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=21707

    RAM: 2x512MB
    CPU: 1,73MHz Dothan
    hard disc: 60GB 5400RPM

    Its an nice Notebook, only the fan could start running at higher temperrature. At the momment its running the most time on low speed.

    The battery liftime (4 cell, 14,8V 2400mAh) ist at full CPU usage (800MHz undervoltet to 0.7V) about 1h 45min, (WLAN aktivateted disply at half brightnes). Without WLAN and lowest display brihtnes (low cpu usage) i got 2h 20min.

    If you have any questions just ask.

    and sorry for the maybe bad english, I'm form germany :D

    best regards
    Elron
