This is why I prefer software. If I find that I want/need something, I can go download it. But you can't download hardware. Evil or Very Mad

Though I must admit, that's a pretty nice laptop, and I hate you forever.

May be we should invent a way to download laptops? We could make millions!!!!

Not a bad laptop, i like the AMD rather then intell how dose it do for overheating? Mine has a nice big cpu in it and i have crazy heat isues all the time.

iBook or PowerBook. Best reliability you can get in a laptop without going for some freakish military hardened thing that costs $10,000.

"Power" should be a low priority when looking for a laptop. Low weight, low heat, durability and battery life are far more important.

On the x86 side, Intel's "Centrino" platform is hard to beat.

It is however outmatched as an embedded/laptop processor by the Motorola MPC 74xx series, more commonly known as the G4.

So I'd say Apple's offering are the finest currently on the market, with Dell's "Centrino" based laptops running a distant second.

Unless for corces you dont whont a mac Rolling Eyes

I dont think it is worth the loss of combiatity.

Also power is very importnt when playing new games, renadering video and other such cpu and memory intensive things.

Dan · **Posted:** Tue Jun 22, 2004 10:20 pm
