Please log in for more thread options I'm pondering purchasing a new laptop... my old Vaio is absolutely ancient, heavy, and slow (800MHz). Specifically I'm looking at the ThinkPad X61s notebook. Anyone experienced with this product? Alternates?

> I've got the predecessor (D14RA) of this one: http://usa.twinhead.com/PRO/D14RY/ Absolutely love it, so far. But it is certainly not light and it may not have enough horsepower for what you need. Although mine finished every compile run about 30% faster than all the others during a Cypress session. What I really liked was that it came with some non-announced goodies such as an RS232 port. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com | ||||

I got it a couple years ago for about $1400, but they're cheaper and have bigger screens now. They have a really light version, but it's more expensive. John | ||||
