Greetings Laptop People: I am looking at buying a PC BRAND notebook PC. Their notebooks are pretty new on the market so I haven't heard much about them. If you have any news about these computers or the company in general - please inform. Thanks! Garret Grajek ..!itx.isc.com!garret

Same specs, too; up to 16 MB RAM, 3-slot expansion chassis, same number and kinds of interfaces, same keyboard layout, etc. When I purchased my DataWorld (which I've been relatively happy with), I asked the salesman about the similarities between it and the Tandon and he indicated that Tandon had copied DataWorld's design. Now that another twin (triplet) appears, I'm finding that line even more difficult to believe. It seems to me that if the units are pretty much identical, you ought to choose the vendor you want to deal with. I've never dealt with PC-Brand (what a name), but DataWorld has been pretty good to deal with. Dave Molta Syracuse University
