I'm looking for recommendations. The features I'm looking for are: XGA graphics at a minimum of 1280 pixels horizontal and 960 pixels vertical. 1400x1050 is perfect Pentium M processor for battery life 1.6 GHz ~ 2.0 GHz Ability to do 3D Video acceleration would be a plus but isn't strictly necessary. XDAMAGE would be a double plus. A real serial port is a plus as I occasionally have to boot the odd sun workstation. Any suggestions are welcome. -- Chris
