I just got a new sony tj25 from bestbuy here in the us. for about $160.00. It runs at 200mhz and I also purchased chessgenius 2.0. It is a very strong combination. I have yet to win a single game at any time control !! The unit has color and you can even turn off the back lighting to save energy I also have turned ponder off and this helps save as well. I am very happy with it and don't think I would need anything more powerful. hope this helps :)
