My Dell I8000 is getting a bit long in the tooth but I'm loath to give up full hardware support. I really would like high end graphics (at least resolution) with 64 bit support. I'm specifically interested in 3D accel, suspend/resume, power states (throttling), peripherals (built in, or external), wireless, and battery life. My hope is to find a laptop that is fully supported in i386 mode that will also run in 64 bit mode reasonably and is actively developed so that eventually it will be fully supported in that mode as well. Comments? I appreciate whatever time anyone can spend on this. Sean
