Nope. Sorry no info either. I'm on an antique Acer travelmate 240
laptop. 2.6GHz Celeron. Only paid £350 for it in a Comet Sale.
Screen on this is nice, but the graphics card could be better.
The price of laptops nowadays is very low.
As is their speed. ATM most dual core laptops are 1.8GHzx2 but running
32 bit Vista which doesn't really take advantage of the chips potential.
I have a 9.6 Quad core/Vista 32 desktop which is slower than this
laptop.
I'm sure there is now the odd 64 bit chip for laptops....
Default and artificial light settings are only a click apart, not
really worth the hassle of crawling through the setup menu.
Not sure what you mean.
Circular menu, takes about 6 clicks to reach brightness - 7 for
contrast-8 for colour saturation, then on to the end to confirm and
lock changes. Graphics card in the box is a 128 AGP4 could be better.
I don't have a circular menu. I presume you mean a wheel you turn?
No, click the menu button then use the up-down buttons to navigate, open
the menu you need and use the up-down buttons again. Menu to exit, then
up down buttons to the exit screen button, then exit to set the change,
and exit again to close the menu. It's a bit like following the
green/yellow route on a London Underground map. That's the Circle and
District line - it goes round in a circle
I've got two 512MB (maybe) graphics cards. Dual output each.
That's just plain greedy. I'd upgrade to a 512 but I can't find an AGP4
card which the system will accept. Memory is the same(ish) It's ok
with 2x1Gig sticks, but if I put another one in, I get constant resets.
I like three screens. And I like smoothness when I drag a window
about.
