like i mentioned last time gericoms came up, i have heard only bad things about them. they tend to be very heavy and can't live through the punishment of being used for live performance (eg, dead in ~1 year).

i'm always on the lookout for that cheap underdog laptop manufacturer, that is matching the quality of dell/ibm but with a smaller marketing budget, but i don't think gericom can claim anything like that.

Sorry for dragging up an old thread but what happened with this story? Does anyone use a Gericom laptop for Pd, how is the audio? Can anyone recommend a Gericom? Those prices do look tempting?

hi,

i'm about to buy my very first notebook :) and saw this on media-markt=20 (germany)

http://shop.mediamarkt.de/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?produc= tId=3D16005&catalogId=3D5000&langId=3D-3&storeId=3D5000&categoryId=3D10 00= 1

it's a GERICOM Masterpiece 2440

• P4 2,4GHz
• 512MB
• ATI Mobility Radeon 9000, 64MB
• etc...

my only worry is that does linux (i prefer suse) and PD+GEM work on this=20 machine. specially that ATI chip. on my desktop with geforce2mx440 i didn= 't=20 get the 3D drivers from nvidia to work :(...audio ist mir wurst, because = i=20 will buy an usb/firewire audio interface later...

so, if any1 has/heard this machine with linux+pd+gem, let me know... i will be buying it tomorrow, a special sonday here in frankfurt, the sho= ps=20 are open form 13 to 18 :))))

cheers -andre ps. i'm pretty sure that pd+gem will work on windows with this machine, b= ut i=20 WANT linux...
