from the specs it really looks like a nice laptop and at an affordable price too. I haven't seen any reviews on this laptop yet, but I'm pretty sure it's one heck of a computer that you'll get

yes!

The price is the most attractive thing.

 

Compared with Netshop 154WS-TV, it does not have the web camera or bluetooth.

 

But the price....

And 533 memery, 100G hard disk

[ducmaster]

i do agree..it sounds like a monstrous laptop, the cpu,(dothan 2.0gig!) harddisk and 2 gig of ram beats all of the Netshop's 154WS-TV ..i wouldnt even bother about the webcam and the bluetooth solution, u can buy it cheap for the laptop, and use it external

[fifiyu]

dothan?

 

I think both are sonoma

 

 

But anyway, the quality is the first thing I concern.

 

The price is good, this make me think again about the quality

It's a pity you don't understand Norwegian, because there is a thread where we discuss the quality, pros and cons of SHG computers. Here it is: clicky-click But it doesn't seem like anyone here at these forums have such a computer already, though several of us consider buying one (me being one of them). I am especially considering the cheaper version of this one, namely the 550709.

 

From what I gather, these computers are built in cooperation with Mitac computers, and there are also rumours that Asus has something to do with it. So if you're concerned with the quality, it could be worth a try to browse the web a bit and see what reputation these brands have. You're welcome to post your findings here, of course!

 

Good luck.

 

 

EDIT: Added link to SHG-discussion thread.

hmmmm that looked like a really nice computer... maybe I should buy one of those? But my biggest consern on computers like that is the screen. How big is the solution on the screen? and how long is the batteri time?

 

EDIT: I just found out about the screen and batteri time..

 

Inches (the display) 15.4 Inch (Widescreen)

 

Screen Type LCD (WXGA)

 

Max Resolution 1200 x 800

 

Batteri time: 4 hours

 

isn't 1200 x 800 kind of big?

Bærbaren er utstyrt med den nye MXM grafikk standarden som nå gjør det mulig og oppgradere sitt grafikkort. Denne bærbaren er utstyrt med nVidias GeForce 6600 Go med 128MB dedikert ram!

 

That says that you'r able to upgrade ou'r graffic card on that computer. Does that meen that I can pull the card out and replase it with a go6800 card instead?

of course it is...my bad...the old p-m processors are dothan while the new ones are sonoma but indeed I do think this is one of the better laptops at this price

[fifiyu]

difficult decision

 

I need the laptop before 28th, I not sure if I can get it in time
