I've wanted a screen that can display three unobscured terminal windows in a row for the longest time, and now I've finally got one. >So far, it looks as if I configure a system with a 750 MHz Mobile PIII, >256 MB RAM, the 1400x1050 15.1" screen, a 20 GB disk, and go with a >plain CD-ROM drive, an extra battery, and a port replicator, that should >come to about $2285 + tax, shipping, &c.
