[The Niles]

I have done some more surfing and found a better candidate then the ASUS A6Va. It is the MSI M645.

* Processor: Intel Pentium M with 1.8 GHz (750J, Sonoma)
* RAM: 2x512 MB PC-400 TMT 16ch/DS/CL 2.5
* Video Card: nVidia Geforce 6600go with 128 MB memory (351 Mhz core-, 700 Mhz memory clock)
* Display: 15.4" TFT WXGA, resolution 1280x800 Pixel
* Hard disc: Toshiba MK-8032 GAX with 80 GB capacity, 5400 rpm, dimension 2.5" and 16 MB Cache
* Optical drive: LG DVD 8x +/- GCA-4080N SlimLine DVD Multi
* Connections: 4 USB 2.0, analogue sound connections, modem, Firewire, 3in1 Cardreader
* Network connections: Bluetooth, WLAN 802.11bg, 54M/Bit
* Dimensions: 35.5x25.5x2.5cm
* Weight: 2.7 kg (lighter than the M635)
* Power Supply: 550g, 13x6x3cm
* Accumulator: 1x Li-Ionen-accu, 27x4.5x2cm
* Input devices: Touchpad
* Software: Win XP Home Edition (M635 with Professional Edition)
* Service: 24 months pick-up garanty
* Accessories: micro fiber cloth

It is €100 cheaper then the ASUS and has almost the same specs. The X700 is rated a little higher then the GFGo 6600 but it is not a big difference. This one is even a little lighter then the A6Va (200 grams). Let's hope it drops to about €800-900 in two months so I can get one with my vacation money and anything I might get for my birthday.
