****HELP ME CHOOSE A NOTEBOOK****

Alright guys...I posted a few days ago about getting a Picturebook...but I find that there are some better option available. One is the Sharp PC-AX40 and the other is the Sony SR17.

However, there are probably notebooks out there that I haven't heard of so...please...help me out. Here's EXACTLY what I need.

The focus is PORTABLITY

MUST HAVE

1. 500+ MHz
2. 10.4 or 12.1 screen. No 14.1 or 15 inchers. Too big.
3. At least 64 megs of RAM and must be expandable to at least 192.
4. 6 gig or higher HD.
5. Weigh no more than 3.5 pounds.
6. No more than an inch thick.
7. Price tag of around $2000CDN or $1250 US...give or take a couple hundred ballpark.

PREFERED

1. Built in 10/100. Modem not necessary.
2. Bluetooth or 802.11 would be cool...but also not necessary. 10/100 built in is very much so prefered...
3. CD-ROM. Internal or external. This doesn't matter that much though. DVD is obviously cooler.
4. USB and Firewire ports.
5. Mobile Radeon. Also not too huge of a factor. It's not like I'm gonna play games on this thing.

What it's going to be used for.

1. Typing notes in class.
2. Browsing the net.
3. ICQ and e-mail.
4. Watching videos (some of my lectures have actual videos available on the net on demonstrations.)

Remember...I have to carry this thing around campus along with all my other stuff...so no bricks. 1 inch...give or take 0.1...and no more than 3.5 pounds (without CD-ROM in is okay. SR17 has external CD-ROM and weighs 2.98 without it.)

Thanks guys. Any suggestion is appreciated.

damn you, you beat me to it!
 
Bump for weird mod mistake on locking the wrong thread.

Anyways, hardyharhar guys. You know what I mean. 😛 Notebook computer.

And it's not like I'm typing every sentence in caps...only like a couple words.

Anyways, Moose mentioned Thinkpads...I don't like Thinkpads...but I'd still like to know what this $800 notebook is. You got a link? Remember, 10.4" or 12.1" screen and must be 1" thin.
 


<< what about dells. Their inspiron 2500 seems nice. >>



They don't make 2500s that small anymore. Last time I checked, they only come with 14.1" screens.

They're also VERY thick at 1.7 to 2.1 inches.
 
Hmm... Fivestar? 😛 You seem to have high expectations for a notebook, and the one notebook that was pointed out you don't like... you can't have high expectations and be picky at the same time, if that makes any sense 🙂
 
I don't think my expectations are that high...I just want something under an inch thick and 3 pounds. Hell, I found two but I'm wondering if there are more out there that I haven't seen yet.
