which would it be? obvious contenders being alienware, apple + sony.
me_ would have to be a 17'' powerbook with 1gb RAM upgrade.
http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObje.../3.0.7.1.0.5.3
with osx / gentoo / win98 triple boot of course (assuming you can still get the latter?)
only reason i ask is that iot will probably be my next one system :)
dgr
win98? on an apple? good luck with that...
i'd get another toshiba ultralight myself. very nice pieces of kit.. not too slow either
alienwares top offering ofc, no contest in looks, quality, support, customsiation, upgradeability etc ;) just wish i had the £££
I never even knew alienware did laptops, til i looked after reading this thread!
But after looking at their site, think it would have to be one of their's. Would be tempted with a sony vaio tho.. centrino style...
top of the range ailenwear weighs a whopping 7kg thou... my old toshiba ultralight in comparison weight under 1.9..

uberhyperninja laptop of doom, 17" screen, radeon 9600 and even gig-e
for about £1200 at current exchange rates \o/
I'm not greedy, I'd happily settle for one of the Evesham Athlon64 3400+'s (with bells and whistles, naturally)...
hmm i thought a while ago i saw a 98 build for power pc.
nethertheless this should suffice:

i spose,
3.4ghz northwood EE p4-m
2gb pc3200
200gb hard drive
radeon 9700 pro
and a dvd writer of some sort
:D found a site few days ago selling laptops with 9700 and 9600pros NICE there normally poo cards :p
this kinda annyos me - i spend £2000 on a hella nice pc - i could have spend another £1000, had it almost as fast and yet as portable as a folder!
my pc weighs a tonne (well not as much as some, just a lot...)
why does nobody click my link? given a comparable powerpc vs intel spec, with £2000 price difference, i'd save the £2000...
Weeeeeeeelllll...I can click on it, but I'm not sure I could lift it :DQuote:

well, 4kg is a lot granted
but only 33% more than the powerbook 17", £2000 less, and a lot more powerful (g4 can't compete with p4, end of conversation)
because some people are more interested in an ego trip *yawn*Quote:
