Review: Mine has an ML-34 1.8 GHZ processor, 1GB RAM and 80GB hard disk, -,+ DVD R/W. Thumbs up for Linux support! The X300 graphics card might prove a bit problematic, especially if you’re considering a 64build distro but nothing a bit of tweaking couldn’t fix. Great machine for the price, very quiet, I’ve had a few hangs with the screen turning blank on Windows, especially in HDD stressing operations. It turned out to be an old bios version issue, so nothing serious, I just download the new version executable and run. I’ve been through a lot of laptops, I can tell you, for the price, this is a must get!

Review: I have purchased a more customised version of nx6125 notebook with ML-40 (2.2GHz), 1GB DDR333 and 80GB (5400rpm) CPU, RAM and HDD respectively for about NZ$2500. A similarly configured business notebook with Pentium M would cost me another $1000-1200 and besides, I was always fascinated with the AMD architecture (which I think is superior to Intel's for the pipelines and threads). Overall, I am very satisfied with my notebook and there's no way I could've got any better configured notebook for that price. The impressive battery life and the ATI RADEON Xpress 200 mobo and 300GPU further adds to the excitement (far, far better than the seedy integrated-everything Intel stuff). Oh yes, and the 1400X1050 rez SXGA+ is much better than the 1280X780 similarly priced DELL or anything else. Oh, the FireWire port and a 6-in-1 card reader and fingerprint recogniser.... mmm just too much. For NZ$2500 I'd give the new nx6125 ML-40 a 10/10 (but probably a 7 or 8 to the nx6125 ML-30 described in the editor's review).
