reize, ejl, if you're around, either of you ever heard of eruocom? i was poking around on cnet and i read a review about their new 19" notebook. when i went to their site, i found a 17" that prices competitively with the m90 [$2400].
i've talked to some friends who seem to think that dell uses junk parts and i'd be better off with a boutique manufacturer. they suggested voodoo, but i don't have $4k.
but this eurocom, the M570A DIVINE has the following:
EUROCOM M570A; 17-inch; WXGA 1440-by-900 pixels; Widescreen
256MB GDDR3; Nvidia GeForce Go 7800GTX; 400e/500m; 16x PCI Express; Upgradeable VGA Module
IntelĀ® PentiumĀ® M Processor 750; 1.86 GHz; FSB533; 2 MB cache; uFCPGA478
1GB; 1x 1GB; DDR2-533; 200pin; PC4200; 1 SODIMM
60GB; 7,200rpm; 2.5-inch; IDE/ATA; 8MB cache

They are a Canadian rebranded Clevo I believe.

You should be able to find same notebooks with different names from Sager or other resellers ex:

if i remember correctly, you are not much of a gamer, right? you have to take into consideration that this is built for gaming, not business applications. it will not have the sturdy build of dell business lines. however, it is a very good and powerful system. either way, it will not have 64-bit capability. if you wait a month or two, the one you were looking at will be revamped with core duos.
i did not tell you about this machine before b/c you aren't a gamer, but there is the sager 9750. it is also has the 7800gtx. in addition, it has the desktop cpu athlon x2, which is 64-bit and dual core (the notebook turion x2 is what is coming out in may). -
anyone heard of Eurocom?
