The 200A5 is cool. Too expensive for me, but nice screen.
i was using a netgear ap my friends gateways range went way father than mine. I went to bb and told them the prob and threatend to return it and they just said that they would give me a pcmcia card and keep it so i accepted and im happy now. :)
I have the internal minipc card (built in), and it seems that it gets a better connection.
I recently got a 12" PowerBook: 640MB RAM, 60GB hard disk, a DVD-R drive and 802.11g :D
And it weighs about 2Kg. Very nice. Despite the warnings about 802.11g being a draft standard, it works fine with my Buffalo 802.11g access point/router.
"Tankpad": I'll have to remember that. :)
Dell Inspiron 8200.
I love the screen.
Very fast too.
I'll second that, Terry. I have an Inspiron 8200, and I love it. 15" UXGA screen and 1.7 P4.
See my sig. Approaching 3 years old and still going strong, thanks to a RAM upgrade (I only bought it with 64MB of RAM, since Dell charges an ABSURD amount to upgrade it when you order) and hard drive upgrade. Unfortunately this specific model of IBM travelstar HDD seems to have some issues, I've already RMAed one because it developed bad sectors and started making scary noises, and now I have to do it again because the replacment drive is having problems too!
Oh well, at least the drive has a 3 year warranty, and this time they're replacing it with a 40GB model. :)
i just bought an alienware area 51-m. I work at best buy so i got a real good deal on that + 3 year service plan.
Ancient Dell Latitude
Pentium I 166MMX
72MB RAM
2.1GB HDD
12.1" Active Screen
10Mb PCMCIA LAN card
56k PCMCIA Modem card
got a couple of dead pixels but runs fine.
Looking to dump it off for $150 if anyone would want it....
compaq LTE5150
133mhz
32mb ram
800meg harddrive
but now i am using my dads laptop:
ibm thinkpad a30p
mobile pentium 3 1200mhz
128mb ram
30gig harddrive
combo dvd/cdburner
win2000
Fujitsu C series 6611
PIII 900mhz /128 PC100 (i think - slow kind)
4 USB1.1, 1 IEEE 1394, optical out, dvdrom, floppy, infrared, serial, damn multimedia controls on the front that are useless unless I run win98.
use it for simple stuff like divx and travel companion. modem/lan integrated also.
my gf has ibook 800mhz and it works great :)
I have a Dell Inspiron 4100 with a P3 1GHz Mobile processor and 256MB RAM. It is light, portable, and gets 8.5 hours of battery life on two batteries. Dell has great service and support.

I owned a Sony before and it died right after the 1-year warranty and repair cost as much as a new one. Now I have a Asus D1 Desknote, and if this ever failed, I know I can still pull out the cpu/ram/hardisk for something else.
