My Hi-Grade Laptop

[Chandler]

This is my main laptop which I use at university.  It's based upon the Uniwill N340S8 v5.0 chassis, which makes it easy and cheap to find replacement parts for it; everything is generic.  It's also pretty stable, but a bit on the slow side for running Windows XP, due to a slow 4200RPM hard drive.

It's based on the single chip SiS 630S chipset which includes video, sound and network features built into a single North/South-Bridge.  The processor is a desktop Intel Celeron-S (Tualatin) 1.2GHz running on a 100MHz SDR bus.

On it's desk at university

• Hi-Grade Notino 3400-1200A2
• Fujitsu PS/2 keyboard - yes I know it's beige and everything else is silver, but it's so nice to type on
• Memorex Wireless Optical mouse
• Yamaha DP-U50 USB sound module
• VideoLogic ZXR-500 speakers
• Epson C42UX USB printer
• SAGEM F@st 800 ADSL USB modem
• Labtec USB webcam
• Obligatory cable mess

Another angle



This is what that mess of cables goes to

• ME-320U2 USB 2.0 enclosure, with Western Digital JB series 120GB 8MB cache hard drive inside.
• Mouse charger
• Mini USB hub

Despite it normally having a load of peripherals plugged into it, it is also portable.... barely.  It averages around 80 minutes on battery power.
