Hey there, i can't remember if i have told you already, but have have bought an [HTML_REMOVED]old[HTML_REMOVED] IBM X22, and i would not say that the keys or the screen is to small. It fits me just right. :) Especialy because it is so portable.... it is the true meaning of laptop. :) Just right now i am sitting in my sofa with the computer on my lap. :)

Oh, i don't think you have told me. I may have to try it one day, if the keys haven't changed that much since then.

I also really like the idea of a real portable laptop, rather than some semi-transportable half-way desktop computer.

I especially like that they have put in a graphics with relatively good open-source drivers. Which hopefully translates to a working suspend-to-disk-while-in-X setup.

You are welcome to come and try it some time. :)

Nu er jeg selvf[HTML_REMOVED]lgelig ikke expert med hensyn til linux drivere, men jeg ville nok kigge p[HTML_REMOVED] enten Acer eller Toshiba's b[HTML_REMOVED]rbare: Acer TravelMate 3300 serien som vejer under 2kg og har et 6 cell batteri s[HTML_REMOVED] den kan k[HTML_REMOVED]rer ca. 3 timer p[HTML_REMOVED] batteri. Modellen TravelMate 3304WXMi har: Pentium[HTML_REMOVED] M 760 (2.0GHz-533Mhz-2MB), Microsoft[HTML_REMOVED] Windows[HTML_REMOVED] XP Professional SP2 Edition, 14.1[HTML_REMOVED] WXGA Widescreen TFT, 128MB delt VRAM, 1024MB (2x512) DDR2, 100GB HDD, IEEE DVD-Dual (double layer), Gigabit LAN, 54Mbit 802.11b/g WLAN, Bluetooth, 5-i-1 kortl[HTML_REMOVED]ser, 6-cell Li-Ion batteri, ezDock port

Duck: I might have to take you up on that :-)

I don't think that i like the Acer laptops that much, they don't seem as [HTML_REMOVED]sturdy[HTML_REMOVED] as the Lenovo ones. They are definaerely more [HTML_REMOVED]designer friendly[HTML_REMOVED], some might even claim that the Lenovo ones are ugly. Toshiba looks a bit more sturdy, and the Portege series looks like they offer the same level of portability as the Lenovo X series.

But both laptops lack the trackpoint which i really like. And the Toshiba Portege series are priced in the same range as the newer Lenovo X series - and come with the new dual core stuff from Intel - though i haven't seen any benchmarks on how well it performs yet.

Martin, you are usually well versed in the benchmarking scene, any good benchmarks on how a dual core and single core scales up - and how do they perform againts a Pentium M.

Oh, and the Lenovo R52 (although it still says IBM ThinkPad on it) also lasts about 3 hours, even with me compiling away.

The Lenovo R52 supplied by GateHouse that is.

Jeg fortr[HTML_REMOVED]kker nu ogs[HTML_REMOVED] selv Toshiba's b[HTML_REMOVED]rbare frem for Acer, men tilgeng[HTML_REMOVED]ld er Acer billigst.

Men hvis man g[HTML_REMOVED]r op i byggekvaliteten og man kun kigger p[HTML_REMOVED] b[HTML_REMOVED]rbare under 1.5 kg, er b[HTML_REMOVED]de Portege serien og Lenovos X-serie nogle af de mest interresante, men s[HTML_REMOVED] vidt jeg ved er de begge begr[HTML_REMOVED]nset til 1024*768 i opl[HTML_REMOVED]sning.

Derfor ville jeg nok kraftig overveje at g[HTML_REMOVED] op til b[HTML_REMOVED]rbare p[HTML_REMOVED] 2kg, de er trods alt ogs[HTML_REMOVED] meget lettere end den Dell mursten du sl[HTML_REMOVED]ber rundt p[HTML_REMOVED].

Mht. til dual core versus single core, s[HTML_REMOVED] er de nye dualcore klart Intel bedste CPU-serie de sidste mange [HTML_REMOVED]r, og de har da ogs[HTML_REMOVED] stoppet udviklingen af Pentium4 for 1[HTML_REMOVED]frac12; [HTML_REMOVED]r siden da det var klart at den ikke kunne konkurerer.

Men hvis man spiller meget og ikke multitasker, er pengene bedre givet ud p[HTML_REMOVED] en lidt hurtigere single core.

MEN Dualcore er en gud's gave til multitaskeren der har ofte har 6-12 programmer k[HTML_REMOVED]rende, eller for folk som bruger en compiler som underst[HTML_REMOVED]tter 2 CPU'er, derudover er det er en mere smooth oplevelse at arbejde ved, der er meget sj[HTML_REMOVED]ldent en process som l[HTML_REMOVED]ser systemet 2-15 sekunder, hvilket faktisk sker oftere end man lige t[HTML_REMOVED]nker over, simpelthen fordi man har v[HTML_REMOVED]nnet sig til det.

Her er en anandtech 2 cents p[HTML_REMOVED] Core Duo:http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2648[HTML_REMOVED]p=1

Du kan evt. hoppe direkte over til konklusion, hvor du kan l[HTML_REMOVED]se at den bitch-slapper Pentium M:

[HTML_REMOVED]Our initial analysis still holds true, that for a notebook processor, the Core Duo will be nothing short of amazing for professionals. Looking at the performance improvements offered everywhere from media encoding to 3D rendering, you're going to be able to do a lot more on your notebook than you originally thought possible (without resorting to a 12-pound desktop replacement). In the past, power users on the go had to sacrifice mobility for CPU power, but with the Core Duo, that is no longer the case. You will still most likely have to resort to something larger if you need better GPU performance, but at least your CPU needs will be covered. The one thing that Intel's Core Duo seems to be able to do very well is to truly bridge the gap between mobile and desktop performance, at least in thin and light packages.[HTML_REMOVED]

He, he, i read that article, just yesterday, and i certainly think i can benefit from multiple cores, i don't game anymore, so all i wan't is for my compiler to be quicker.

And i've come to think that i can probably live with a 1024x768 screen, if it means increased portability.

If we talk about a good laptop we find very few which are able to fulfill our requirements.Recently i am using [HTML_REMOVED]a href=[HTML_REMOVED]http://www.retailsdirect.com/ProductList.aspx?subCatId=205[HTML_REMOVED]manufacId=72[HTML_REMOVED][HTML_REMOVED]Lenovo Laptops[HTML_REMOVED]/a[HTML_REMOVED] Really i am impressed with this.is there any other good laptop in market more than Lenovo?

I like cheap laptop these are very user friendly.
