Hey out there,
Still working with a Tecra 8000 366mhz, I decided it's finally time to move on.
I've come to the conclusion that my laptop will never be a desktop replacement. I'm looking for a laptop to be used with office software and wifi web browsing; something along the lines of 1.2-1.8 ghz (speed is not a big issue). I don't need any optical drives, powerful gpu's, or fancy sound cards, but would like USB 2.0 support. I want it to be slim (less than or circa 1"), near 3-4 lbs, and have a battery life of 4 or 5+ hours.
I'm unfamiliar with what companies are effectively milking the battery life out of the centrinos. Honestly, the old compaq armadas with the pseudo-docking stations would be ideal if they had a little extra juice.
Thanks for any direction,
Dan
