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. ZK
