QUOTE(kllam @ Oct 24 2008, 10:25 PM) bought mine at MVM, they got stock when i was there. saw at low yat today... they're selling the CQ20 213TU....and the spec show 2.0Ghz processor. overall i'm satisfied with my CQ20 and have all the driver installed..... currently installed with Vista Ultimate 32bit IIANM, the CQ20-213TU has a T5800 CPU. This should be a less powerful CPU than the P8400 in the earlier CQ20s. It consumes more power as well. To make up for this, I think they added a larger hard disk. Price is the same though. Anywhere still have CQ20 with the P8400? Is this type of CQ20 already sold out on the market?

QUOTE(sigheart @ Oct 26 2008, 08:04 AM) Try pm john_jay2 from Aone Plus Lowyat. I bought my CQ20-125TU from him but that was quite some time ago, around 1 and a half months back. Not sure if he still has stock. or you can visit and post in his thread here: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=436243&hl=EDIT: Wow joe_mamak you are right. They downgraded the processor and give 250GB hard disk space instead. Thank god I bought my CQ20-125TU early shortly after launch. I'd take a better processor over a bigger hard disk any day. I don't think you can get the CQ20-125TU already seeing as they sort of replaced it with the 213TU unless some stores are still having some old stocks. They have even replaced the 125TU and the 126TU on the website with 213TU and 214TU. Btw if you are still looking at this model I suggest you go for others. I mean even with the energy saving P8400 processor the most you can get is 2 and 1/2 hours +/- max on low brightness settings and on max brightness is around 1 and 1/2 hours max. I'd dread to know how long this 4 cell battery can last on a power hungry processor unless you don't mind using the power adapter most of the time. In addition to that the last time I checked OEM batteries weren't available so the battery can't be upgraded. Not sure whether this might probably be a sign that this option might be available any time soon though. Thanks for your suggestion. Yeah, I think I should forget about the CQ20 on account of the small battery capacity. I like the weight though and the looks. But I have to be practical.
