Notebook System for Software Developer

Hello,

My company is asking what kind of notebook I'd like including different peripherals. This is just a survey of some powerful notebook for a software developer.

What are the key ingredients? What hardware is good (drivers, etc.) and what hardware to stay away from? My first though is to stay away from wireless and go with an Intel LAN.

What notebook do you have or want?

Thanks,

Kuphryn
 
I'd recommend an IBM 'T' series with XP Pro, lots of memory (512+), decent hard-drive, CDRW (must-have for backups), Wireless (wired NIC is always included I believe), and an extra high-capacity battery pack.

I have an older IBM along the same lines and I'm fairly happy with it. My main reason for going with an IBM was the build quality and reliability - wouldn't want to risk losing a week's worth of work in a system crash.
