to be honest, performance in a laptop isn't all it's cracked up to be. i find the difference in performance between a high end laptop (high end as far as graphics and cpu are concerned) and low end (again same definition) not to be as big as the difference you find between high end desktops vs low end desktops.
i'd rather get less cpu/graphics and a smaller lighter weight machine for laptop than a heavier more cpu/graphics machine.
I have warned
Gobadgrs repeatedly that the Dell 9100 is a HUGE ASS MOFO. I don't think he gets it yet. When he receives it, it will start to sink in.
I would cancel the order and get a 600m or 8600 instead.
the biggest of laptops i've seen, and the 9100 is one of the biggest i've seen, to me aren't laptops. they are desktops that lack in performance.
i can kind of see making a portable media center (like Toshiba's). i can see where they have their place, but not as a laptop and not in my laptop bag and DEFINITELY not on my shoulder. those things are monsters.
nope, i'm very happy with my 1 ghz P3 Tablet PC. 2 lbs. i can live with that.
