    I was just looking around and found this site http://www.xtremenotebooks.com/ I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this site. Ive never heard anything about them and nothing about the notebooks they have. The Raptor 765x has caught my eye and I was wondering if anyone knows anything about these things. Id hate to buy it and nto know anything about it. If not I'm thinking about going with a Acer Ferrari 4005 or maybe something a little smaller. My only thing is I want to be able to play World of Warcraft on it so 128MB or GPU RAM is what I want. So if you guys have any other laptop suggestions or some info on that site let me know Id appreciate anything. Thanks alot

    The Raptor 765x is a Uniwill 259ia3
    http://www.uniwill.com/products/performance/259ia3/259ia.php?HL=1&P=1

    some other resellers of the same model include ibuypower.com and rjtech.com (heard bad things about the former). You might want to go check out notebookforums.com for more info on it, I tend to find more information on ODM brands over there.

    LuckMC is right, lots of people on hardware section to help.

    but to point out.. WoW doesn't really demand much in GPU power, even an x300 or nvidia 6200 can handle it with out hiccups.

    give us a screen size range, weight range and a price range we can work with.

    my personal picks that i almost always reccomend to everyone.

    (that have a GPU)
    15'4: Asus Z70V, Asus Z70va, Asus Z71V, the soon to be configurable W1, MSI 1029, and MSI 1032

    14": Chembook 2030, IBM T42/43

    13": Sony S360

    Thanks alot guys for all the info. I think I am going to go for the Chembook 2030. It looks like everything I could want at a really nice price. One thing I can't find much info or reviews on this thing. Maybe im searching all the wrong stuff but is there any on this website? And where is a good place to purchase one of these I found one website www.discountlaptops.com. If you recommend somewhere else let me know. Thanks alot guys again.

    there's 2 reviews on it on discountlaptop's support forum
    http://notebookdiscussions.com/
    imho, it's one of the best resellers out there.. very very lenient return policies (no restocking fees for Chembook models i believe). The support you get is pretty much instant.
