@al3d Not since windows 98, What planet are you on?
@Daniel

Thats SO much better! Thanks a lot!
As far as i can tell its an ARM11 core, so performance would be on par with the HTC Hero.
me wants :D
Windows NT is pretty portable, so, they could port it to ARM, if there was enough demand, which there isnt.

They would need to make a HAL and device drivers.
I CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reading the article I don't think they did it justice, a good codec pack like klite or cccp and it should do better.

VLC is good, but its own codecs are not the best, you should set it to use system codecs if available, also, VLC does use hardware acceleration on the video output, so that combined with better codecs should make this capable of running 720 at least.

Also, frankly, who in there right mind plays quicktime files anyway? quicktime is as bad as a virus imo, I only have quicktime alternative installed for the sites that just have to use it.

Im running 6gig of ram, no page file, and i haven't managed to run out yet (I did in vista).

Im sitting at 3.5gig used most of the time.
@Sax25

The GUI is almost nothing like vista in the way you use it, its a lot better, and its hard to tell how much better just by looking at screenshots.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"What's the best gaming laptop for under 1,500 bucks? I had my eye on the P7805u (Gateway), but it seems Best Buy has run out for the time being. Also, as a secondary question, I like the specs on brands such as iBUYPOWER and CyberPower and the like, but are they reliable? I'm a little worried about buying labels that aren't huge like Dell, Gateway, etc. Thanks!"
