Hello everyone.

I am about to buy a new toy. I am looking for KHLB2 barebone. (I want KHLB1, with the nvidia video card, but I cannot find it)

This is a list of things that I want to buy with the barebone:
Processor: T9700
RAM: 2x4GB DDR3
Wifi: Not sure here, which of both wifi devices should I buy?
Bluetooth: The only one in the list.
HDD: Seagate momentum 500GB, 7200rpm, ATAII

Intel wireless sounds good,  ATI graphic card sounds bad.
Because it's a barebone you can't check this
You also need to provide more info about the mainboard and do some googling with

 google <laptopcomponent> linux

Well, there is a good info for the barebone in the comapl.com website, but I cannot give you direct link.

Is here someone from Germany. I want to by Compal KHLB1, with the nvidia video card, but I do not know any Deutsch websites. I am googling for KHLB1, but nothing there. No one is selling that barebone

Regards.
