most durable notebook for business travel??
I need some new notebook the 533 bus one with pci express VGA card and ddr2.
one of these notebooks I can thorw in my brief case and dont worry about it.
I dont want it to be desktop replacement, and not a home PC , I want a slim , durable, shock/drop resistant notebook, while mostadvanced and powerfull CPU at the same time.
I tried the Dell latitude b4 and I DONT LIKE IT AT ALL. it does not have style nor good design. and few options too.
I am looking at TOSHIBA,IBM,SONY.
I need the new 2.1G 533 sonoma , 1G ddr2 ram, x600 or x700 mobile (or nvidea equivalant, DVD writer, 7200 or 5400 HD , and at least 4 HRS battery life. wide screen 15.4 or 14.2 is a bounus but not important. also I ve seen these new bright screen technology and I need your advice about them are they good ? also, the only thing I loved about DELL was their high resolution screen upgrade option, but all what i find at IBM,TOSHIBA,SONY are not customizable...
anyway plese give me some recommendations. I think the Toshiba TECRA is good (but low on specs , they use 6200te nvidia)...
the most important thing is it to be slim, fast, and durable with every needed option (with modular DVD writer/second battery swap) (I dont wantto carry around external devices or docking stations...

A single notebook that can do everything you ask for does not exist. What you basically listed was EVERYTHING that EVERYONE wants in a notebook. And you want it all. If such a notebook existed, then everyone would just buy that notebook, and every other notebook manufacturer would go out of business.
Slim, fast, x600 or x700 GPU. Well, there are only like, two notebooks right now that satisfy that criteria... I'd look at the Acer Travelmate 8100.
Slim fast, durable.... IBM Thinkpads
Slim, fast, portable, battery life... Sony S series.
Fast, battery life, extremely powerful GPU... Dell Inspiron 9300 or Dell Inspiron XPS2
