I'm in the market for another laptop. My old 120Mhz Toshiba is just feeling too slow and the 1GB disk drive too limiting. Perhaps someone has a recommendation given the following specs and assuming price is not a concern. RAM: expandable > 128M CPU: at least 300Mhz Disk space: at least 4GB Weight: prefer ultralight or at most 7lb Keyboard: not too small, but slightly smaller than standard OK Mouse: touchpad or stick, I don't care Display: at least 12" TFT and 1024x768 (don't care about graphics card speed) Ports: at least 1 PCMCIA and prefer built-in Ethernet Battery Life: at least 2 hours (perhaps by means of an addtl battery) Sound: I don't care. Not important. I'd like it to be easy to install FreeBSD (or Linux if I must). My use is scientific and network programming (perl, gnu c, xemacs), email, and web browsing on the unix side and all those microsoft office unproductivity programs on the windows side. I want wavelan wireless support. So that's my dream machine spec. The Sharp A290 sounds good, but it seems that Sharp is in some strange state regarding its product lines and availability. The Fujitsu S-4542 also looks nice, but I don't know about its unix compatibility. Anyone have a suggestion? thanks! -d To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
