Evesham Quest A430 Laptop

British system builder Evesham has added to its portable range with the 17-inch Quest A430. Aiming to please both entry-level and serious notebook owners who need a desktop replacement, the A430 can be configured modestly for cost or aggressively for performance. The base system begins with a 1.6GHz Turion 64 X2, integrated GeForce 6100 graphics, and a 1440x900 display at a price of £749 ($1,469) after tax. Enthusiasts, however, can scale as far as the A430 Plus, according to the company: the £979 ($1,921) system upgrades to a 1.8GHz processor, a much improved 256MB GeForce Go 7600 for video, and a sharper 1680x1050 screen alongside expected increases in memory (increasing to 1GB) and hard drive space (120GB). Either model can be customized and ships today. [Via Tech Digest]
