256MB or better is always good. Apps aren't getting any smaller!

This is such a subjective question Thierry!
first what is the goal:
-maximum battery life away from grid power?
-maximum stuff in a portable unit?
-fastest laptop on the block?
I have seen some posts here recently about portables that have so much stuff
added to them, I begin to wonder why a laptop was purchased instead of a full
sized desktop. Then again, to each their own!
I was going to buy a new unit, but they are running so fast that it sounded
like an hour would be about all I could get out of a battery. It was just
happenstance that I found this used 850MHz, and better yet, it was less than
half of what the cheapest laptop at Costco was. So, I win, I win.
The new chips from Crusoe are supposed to address power issues, but I don't
know anyone locally who has one. I have also read several articles about
AMD's chips being very good for laptops.
My advice: look around for a used laptop :)
Best of luck on your research.
