Which laptop is better?

[hhhcce]

I saw one laptop which has very attractive features, such as Fingerprint reader, Intergrated Bluetooth, 5in1 card reader, Pentium Core Duo 1.88GHz from Levono. The price tag would be around 3800- 4000. Fellow recommers, what do you all think about Levono?

give more details, such as the RAM, hd space, graphics card, weight, etc so that people can comment for you.

Just make sure the one you get does not have batteries manufactured by Sony.

I am no computer geek. Can you point out to me that which laptop is Window Vista Compatible?

[vseehua]

your laptop is already good enough to support vista...but for now, i won't recommend it, too high a price for a little upgrade...

your price is quite cheap for a Levono aka ex-IBM laptop though...

*cough* I'm as clueless as you about hardware stuff. :oops: All I know that it needs Intel or AMD's newest processing chip and a good graphic card.

those lower comsumption of energy is based on the super hot pentium 4 processors, not the last generation of pentium M. The current core 2 duo merom runs with a bit more power than the pentium m...

Lenovo Family notebooks are actually much cheaper (about 1-2k) than Lenovo Thinkpads. Anyone has any idea why? Is it cos Thinkpads are more IBM-ish?

Is it cos Thinkpads are more IBM-ish?Thinkpads are the line of notebooks levono bought frm IBM, and hence they will have to be concious about their quality as per agreement. As such it carries a premium in price over normal notebooks...
