- Hello,
- I'm currently looking for a laptop computer and would like get
- some opinions. Here is a list of features that I find desirable:
-
- -60 or 80 Meg HD
- -4 Meg Ram with atleast 8 to expand to
- -fax/modem option
- -386 sx or sl chip
- -easily upgradeable
- -nice screen, 32 or 64 grey-scale
- -fairly light weight
- -a reliable manufacturer
- -20 or 25 mHz chip
- -support for an external screen and keyboard
-
- Now given these desired options, does anyone have a favorite machine that
- fits them? If so do you find your hard drive size adequate.
- How about the speed, would you get a faster chiz?
- Who makes good battery saving features?
- Would you get an sx or an sl chip if you could have your choice again?
- Of course price is a concern. On this line anybody know how fast the
- prices are heading down in the near future?
- I'm sure these questions have been asked before, so if anyone has archived
- info could you pass it along.
-
- Thanks for your help,
