I just picked one up in N. CA. It has the Hitachi 5400 RPM, 8 MB cache drive.
Drove by Starbucks on the way out of the parking lot and it picked up the tmobile wireless net...
I can't get the serial number right now.
I haven't tested for dead pixels yet, or tried DVD. BBuy "pricematched" the emachines extended warranty which was significantly less than there own.
Eric, where are you located?

True, but to extend this up to 3 years it'll be $189 from emachines direct or through ccity for $389(even if it is 4yrs they are insane)... I just like when companies are willing to stand by their product. Even a 2 year standard warranty would make me happy, I think it really sucks how they always do 1 year warranty now. I got burned before with my last laptop (a KDS). The warranty running out past one month when I had a problem, to fix it would cost double what the laptop was worth at the time. So the >3yr warranty is a must to me.

Dont a lot of credit cards double the manufacturer warranty if purchased on their card?

Took mine back and got another. DVD plays back fine now, but I just did a pixel test and found one dead pixel, it's not entirely dead, just the red pigment. What do you guys do in these situations and is it normal?

You have problems with it running a better, faster, backwards compatible wireless networking protocol? lolOriginally posted by: Blackforge
Here's hoping for a MIR this weekend on all laptops or something. I would maybe give this thing a shot. One of the few laptops to have a Radeon 9600 AND it has a 64-bit processor? Plus the 40GB and 512MB. It's pretty killer deal as it is. I wonder if thats ECC ram or not. It's probably 2 256 sticks so it can run in Dual Channel mode.
You could always try to put 64-bit linux on it.
The two problems I have with it is the low resolution LCD (not all WXGA are created equal.. or very clear...) and 802.11g and I run b in my apartment.
