I already knew what laptop I was going to buy, but I got to learn more about what's in it because of this site.
www.notebook-guide.com
This site explains what's current in notebook hardware - I learned that my new laptop is not only a pig in weight, but also in power usage, and that the video card won't be great for gaming. Not I need it for that!
Lots of good information on processors, screens, etc. Concise and good reading!
Enjoy...
