Currently hunting for a laptop that I can use as my primary system. I travel from
place to place, so it's gotta be powerful. Not really fussy about the weight or anything.
Buy.com is advertising a KDS Valiant P3-800 with 128 meg of RAM (8 shared for video)
for $1327+shipping. 20 gig HD (10 is enough for me). no NIC. 14.1 inch TFT
Outpost has an Acer P3-500 15 inch screen TFT for $1399 ship free via two day. Internal
NIC, and seperate video card from what the KDS offers. 128 megs of RAM. 12 gig HD
Screen size i can live with either a 14.1 or 15 inch
To most folks it's obvious the p3-800 looks great, but KDS? Why are they selling their system for $1300 and DELL and compaq has theirs in the $1800-$2000 range.
Totally confused. Speed wise I currently have a p3-500 desktop. its fine for what I do, but if im going to pay $1400, i mind as well get the faster one. no? add on a nic and some mem for the KDS...it will be more than the ACer.
thanks folks!
