sTeVie - re: "The P4 laptop benchmarks suck." They don't SUCK as bad as an AThyWiper 1500+ notebook from Compaq !! "Powered by the Mobile AMD Athlon 4 1500+, the Compaq Presario 700Z offers 1.3 GHz of processing power in a sleek silver-and-black unit. At 6.5 pounds, it just escapes being too heavy for frequent travel. And at $1,722 (direct), it's downright affordable. Unfortunately, the 700Z took last place on all of our speed tests. How much of that is due to the Athlon chip and how much to the other components (especially the S3 graphics subsystem) is impossible to say. The bigger question is why Compaq would marry what should be a premium-performing mobile chip with lower-performing parts. Another problem: The notebook refused to enter PowerNow! optimized mode. No amount of reinstalling and tweaking would get the function to work, even though Windows XP has support for it. Still, battery life on our test was a respectable 2 hours 13 minutes. With PowerNow! working, it could approach 3 hours." pcmag.com
