Re: Other than a low end Compaq for sale on a one-weekend-only Hopeless Shopping Network... Circuit City has the 1200Z series 1GHZ Athlon notebook advertised this week with a headline price of $1,569. That is after rebates, but includes 14.1" screen DVD, 128 meg RAM and a 10 gig hard drive. A great price for a 1GHZ notebook that really runs at 1GHZ - even when it isn't plugged into the wall. The same ad has a Toshiba PIII 700 with 14.1, DVD, 128, and 10 for $1,199 and an HP PIII 850 with 15" screen, 128, and 20 gig HD for $1,499. The highest speed, most expensive notebook in the ad is the 1GHZ Athlon notebook that runs at 1GHZ, not the 850MHZ PIII that runs at something like 650MHZ in real life. Intel can kiss its formerly high mobile ASPs goodbye. Say bye-bye, Paul. Slammed on the desktop by AMD, slammed in the server market by the economy, now slammed in the mobile segment by AMD. And by the time the server market has started to recover, Intel will have to price its offerings to compete with AMD's - or lose market share there, too. Dan
