I'm sure that most people will say, "It depends on what you're using it
for." I wanted a portable server-ish delopment environment. I have an HP
dv9000 with an AMD-64 processor, 2GB RAM, and two 100 GB hard drives in it.
I have Fedora Core 4 x86-64 and Oracle 9i (64-bit) with VMWare running XP or
Solaris and 10gR2 on those. It's been a fantastic box but certainly not a
laptop per se as it has a bit of weight and is too hot for a lap. It has a
17" screen but, more importantly, a bigger keyboard than a typical laptop.
