I've got a NEC Versa P/75 that I'm not completely through configuring yet, but it's *VERY* nice. The biggest thing going for it is the display. It does 800x600, which is a big deal since most laptops can only do 640x480. Having played with both kinds, the nicer display is a big plus. Also, the NEC has a built in SBPRO which is good for demos and such. For network cards the PCMCIA/3C589B works well for me. Nate
