the x1600 should performa similarly to others...unless they downclocked the gpu. it does look like it is a pretty decent deal for a notebook with the x1600 in europe.

 

I would strongly advise AGAINST getting a Packard Bell laptop. Ive had one for close to 2 years and its the most ****iest piece of stpuid ass junk ive ever had. The qulaity of the laptop is cheap, the materials are cheap and drivers from their website will seriously screw up your laptop.

Dont waste your money. If you need a budget notebook look into Acer.

 

thax for the answers.

yep i know is the risk of a brand offering a notebook of this characteristics but if I would like to find a notebook of HP,Toshiba,Asus with the same char. it will be more expensive.

 

You get what you pay for so you have been warned!! lol

 

Oh yes I take your advice in mind thats why I am going to wait and search more. Reliability is what I am trying to find.

Thank you.

 

Once again i'd just like to clear up this mess. We've been over this before. Need i remind you AGAIN radditz that your laptop is like 5,000,000 years old with ancient packard bell technology, they prodyuced this laptop before they replaced their components for superior ones. Packard bell has changed within the last year and are making notebooks on par with Sony, Toshiba and Dell. The DiamondView LCD technology in recent packard bell notebooks is second to none and definately very similar to Sony's X-Black, its certainly better than Acer anyway.

Packard Bell is an excellent laptop brand and use quality materials such as Superior durable plastics, aluminium and magnesium alloy. It is NOT a budget brand, however they do have budget notebooks in their product line-up. The V7900 is one of Packard Bell's top notebooks and houses the excellent DiamondView screen. I myself own the W3520 series notebook with the 17ins DiamondView LCD and i am extremely happy with it, i custom made the laptop to my specification (the specs are in my signature below). Definately go for this Packard Bell notebook, it is one of the best available for the price and their customer services will be at your disposal to help you with any inconsistincies that may arouse with your notebook. If you need to know anything else about packard bell please PM me Julen.
