how to buy new laptop

[Zoran Kolic]

Dear All!
I've gotten blisters on my brain
thinking about laptop I'd like to
buy. Selling people in my area are
making it even worse. I would like
to ask for positive and specialy
negative opinions.
Not a word on "gerda.univie" for
those two models.

- AOpen Prestigio 1556j with no
operating system (hura!) for about
880 E. It has (or should has) Pen-
tium M cpu, 855GME north and ICH4-M
south bridge, acpi and cardbus.
Sound is AC97. No info for ethernet
chip, modem chip and wi-fi (if it has
one). Does it look like good offer?
Noone in my neighborhood has or even
has seen this manufacturer.

- Compaq nx9020 for about the same
price. Must to say I've never heard
for Celeron M 320 1.3 processor. Chip-
set is 852GM. No data for rest of
stuff. Seems, no wi-fi. Seems no
cd-writer and only 128 of ram (if I
have good info).

Gericom goes into stores in my area,
and looks pretty cheap. Has someone
tried them? (You know: cheap, but
centrino... kh-kh!)
Thanx for any opinion, good and bad.
