Hi All,
I want to buy a laptop and am really confused. I am looking for something that really is a desktop replacement. What I would like would be a 1ghz or higher with 15' screen, 30+HDD,32mb Video card, composite video out. The only thing that comes close is the Dell Inspiron 8000 1ghz PIII,256 ram, 48gig HDD, 32mbDDR GeForce video. I know this is not what this thing is supposed to be used for, but I want to be able to play the same games I play on my Athlon 1.2 system. I would prefer an IBM ThinkPad, but from what I can see, the best video card they have is 16mb. I don't think I would get very good framerates with this. To add to the confusion, should I wait for the Tualatin PIII's to come out at the end of the month, or is the performance difference negligable. Are there any other systems that I should be looking at that would fit the above specs, or should I just wait a little while longer? ThanX !!!!
