My opinion is that these types of notebooks tend to be a little cheaper then buying a brand name from a major retail chain. But, as I said earlier, retail notebooks that use mobile processors with a powerful graphics solution are not only expensive, but also hard to find. You probably may be saving a few hundred bucks if you go to the individual dealer.<br /><br />Best I can tell you is that in Toronto, a standard Centrino package (1.6 GHz, 512 MB DDR, 40 GH hard drive) can cost as low as $1000 Canadian (if you know where to look). Getting a notebook with, say a Mobile Radeon 9700 will cost around $250-300 more. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Vice-Admiral Michael T.
