[Off topic] List of current notebooks

[Harold L Hunt II]

All,

You may have been reading my saga about troubles with laptop computers. 
  Yesterday I put together a fairly comprehensive list of current 
notebooks that may be of interest to some of you.  My basic requirements 
were SXGA+ screen (1400x1050) or greater and integrated 802.11g.  Dell 
is left off of the list because the two Inspiron 8500s that they sent me 
both randomly freeze and this is a well documented problem.

Anyhow, the list is here:

I choose the $1949 Gateway 450X.  However, if 802.11G is not a 
requirement, then the $1678 Toshiba Satelite Pro 6100 is surely the way 
to go, as it is a preassembled unit that ships the same day it is ordered.

Creating this list was highly time consuming and stressful, so it will 
ease my pain a little to know that it has helped at least one other person.
