I am looking for a new laptop that has the following features: 1) pointing stick in keyboard *THIS IS A MUST* 2) AMD64 proc 3) better-than XGA display ((W)SXGA or (W)UXGA) 4) integrated and supported bluetooth 5) integrated and supported 802.11 a/b/g 6) integrated and supported 10/100(/1000) wired Ethernet 7) CDRW (not necessary, but nice) So far, I have been stuck on the HP nc8000, and it meets every criteria except #2 (not sure about #4). I _really_ want #2, but would settle for the nc8000 with Pentium-M @ 1.7GHz if there is no other alternative. Oh yeah, and I will be running -CURRENT on it. Suggestions? Thanks all. --=20 Mike perl -e 'print unpack("u","88V]N=3D&%C=3D\"!I;F9O(&EN(&AE861E
