Milan.

Why do you need a laptop for your job? I thought a good pair of gloves would be enough to keep you warm when changing the tape in the winter.

so how much is that then

$18,500 (too many zeros)
$185,000 (comma in wring place)

or some knd of new numbering format I am unfamiliar with.

I spec'd up the ALienware on recently came to about £12,000

I agree with Mordac, I have a Thinkpad T43 and it is the dogs dangalies (sp) apart from it not having a windows key

>Why "PC PRO" Magazine never rates these laptops as number one or even two?


The build quality of the Toshibas is a bit suspect these days, plus they look all cheap and plasticy. If I were looking for one today, I'd probably go for a Thinkpad (which would be even better if IBM put a Windows key on, it drives me up the wall not having one ).
Dell always seem to come out pretty well in terms of price/performance, and always do well in the laptop tests. Hopefully my trusty ole' Compaq will serve for a couple more years yet.

Why "PC PRO" Magazine never rates these laptops as number one or even two?
frequently it rates "evesham" laptops as no 1.

[Churchill]

Wait until the new dual core laptops are available.

Usage: To run CPU and memory intensive apps during the day, and relax with a movie in the evening at the hotel.

What's important: Decent build quality, 15.4" display, 1024MB RAM (max 2GB), quiet fan

Price: less than EUR 1400.

Biggest unknown: are the glossy displays hard on the eyes with all that light reflection? Are they any better outside?

Narrowed it down to 3 alternatives

Go for Tosh, the Volvo of the Laptop World.

Boringly reliable, as Fleet may have put it , does what it says on the tin.
