[thelist] Laptop - Web Design Wishlis

I use a 12 inch Macintosh laptop and it works just fine for me. It's a
G3 with 640 MB RAM. My eyes aren't quite 40 years old yet, but I'm
getting close. I can still see things just fine.
My mac is not a big powerful computer, but who needs it. Web design is
mostly text files. You only need the power if you require bloated
memory hog products to write your text for you, or if you do a lot of
graphic design. I have enough power to do what graphic design I need
for the web.
At work I also use a laptop, but it's larger and it's a Dell. It has
less RAM but seems faster.
I honestly can't tell the difference between a large screen and a small
one and whatever the Dell has over the mac in speed the mac makes up
for in elegance and beauty. I find more and more that I miss my mac
when I'm at work rather than the other way around.

Subject: [thelist] Laptop - Web Design Wishlist
Hi all,
I'm looking to purchase a new laptop for Web Design purposes.
I would like one with a 17" screen, 1MB Cache, as much RAM as possible
(1GB??), fast Pentium M.
Optional: Firewire 800's, USB2's.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
What do you use?
What would you want to use?
Is there anything available that has my wishful above setup?
I'm looking a Wintel machine at the moment, but would look long and hard
at a PowerBook when they come out with G5's in them (whenever that'll
be).
Thanks
Tim Burgan
